Our Visit To Linda's Home Poem by Khairul Ahsan

Our Visit To Linda's Home

Rating: 4.8


We have our niece, Linda, living in Binghamton,
She has two children, a daughter and a son.
A handsome hubby who is sincere and polite,
With these three stars she's busy all day night.

Vestal is the small city where they abide,
It lies on the New York State's Southern side.
She kept on inviting us again and again,
So we thought, we must make it happen.

On a fine morning in June this year,
My wife and I thought of visiting her.
From New York City to Binghamton,
It took us three hours to reach her home.

She is the home maker to a family of four,
Who is busy day and night doing the chores.
Runs errands to keep the family wheel moving,
Takes the greatest care of even the smallest thing.

They took us to Howe's Cavern and the Finger Lakes,
To Niagara Falls and to many other beautiful places.
We had a very good time as pleasures ran high,
Five days were spent as if in the wink of an eye.

My poem won't be complete without a mention,
Of Hibah and Fardeen, their daughter and son.
Most of the time they kept us busy,
With their playful fun, though at times a bit noisy.

They all were so pleased to have us with them,
Five days vanished, we didn't know when.
Thank you Linda and thank you Helal,
For the wonderful time we had spent, with you all.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
We visited USA from Mid-April to Mid-June this year. Visited many good old friends, relatives and families. Binghamton was a nice place to visit, as of course the other places too. The impressions will live long in our memory.
