"A Texan Voyage"

Large Portions
Chunks of Barbeque
A Spoonful of Gumbo
A Bite of Pork Ribs

A Stroll through Faith
At Lakewood Church
A Celebration of Second Cousins
Reuniting with a Dear Uncle
After the Tolling of a Decade

A Journey through Texan History
With a Poignant "X"
Marking The JFK Assassination in Dallas

Face to Face with NASA Mission Control
Atop a Vast Houston Skyline
I See Tall Buildings Amidst a Warm Hazy Breeze

Late Night Cups of Chai and Chit-Chat
In the Land of Sugar
The Texan Experience of
"Big, Warm, and Friendly,"
Comes to a Close
Until My Return...

Very nice Mitu. You did so much in Texas in few days. I got to know this after reading your beautiful poem.

Love always.

Dear Mitu:
Very nice poem. We were happy to have you visit us. Next time make it sooner. This one was long overdue. It was great to get to spend time with you. Hope to see you again soon. Take care. Love,
