1. Such excitement, such a treat, dreaming of sand under my feet.
2. I’ve been looking ahead to my cruise so long, the time is near and nothing can go wrong.
3. I will finish my day at the shop, maybe leave early. I can, I’m on top.
4. Drive home soon, then pack my case, off to sleep, my bed to embrace.
5. Lazy morning tomorrow to finish the essentials and off to the airport from my residential.
6. Before too long my pre-plans began to disappear, I heard was a loud scream and I cautiously peered.
7. Followed by crying sounds of a child, ‘Oh’, I prayed it has to be mild.
8. Some children had played in all the aisles and looked at me with mischievous smiles. 
9. One was crying and the mom was mad, no one else seemed too sad.
10. Got out the broom and swept the floor, and tried to hurry the crew out the door.
11. It was late while I cleaned the mess, finally made it home, and I needed a rest.
12. When morning came, my eyes were blurry, but I needed to pack my stuff in a hurry.
13. My alarm clock last evening was not set right, it appeared that I had set it for night.
14. Pulled out the suitcase, for my week long trip, need to check off each item, so nothing gets skipped 
15. First I needed to pack some shorts, something fun for every port.
16. Next I must grab most of my tees, then maybe a light jacket and some long sleeves.
17. I better decide on which shoes to wear; sandals of course, then heels, if I dare.
18. A black, a green and a white dress too, a red one is a must, maybe a blue?
19. Then pjs and underwear for a 7 day trip, do people do laundry on a ship?
20. Makeup, passport, money galore, all went into my carry bag to store.
21. No time to shower, I needed to go, would calling a taxi now be too slow?
22. Luckily the car came on time, let’s just hope that the airport had no line.
23. As I headed straight to the gate, I was informed that my flight would be late. 
24. The delayed plane gave me concern, was I to hit problems at every turn?
25. The ship would soon be leaving to cruise the sea, please oh please, don’t go without me.
26. I watched the clock and shuffled my feet, well this dilemma was not a nice treat.
27. Right before I was to give away my dream, my flight was announced on the big screen.
28. I found my way to my seat, pushed my carryon under my feet. 
29. People were still getting their places, other fliers had bright shiny faces.
30. My face, though, was etched with worry, Can’t everyone see I’m in a hurry?
31. Before I had time to fret some more, I felt us lift into the sky to soar.
32. Like a bird that has taken to flight, the plane flew through the clouds so white.
33. We landed on time, with no seconds to spare, but my suitcase was where?
34. Everyone else got to grab ones left and right, but mine seemed no where in sight.
35. Again my stomach felt like a knot, my dream trip can not go to pot.
36. I made it here and the ship was close by, is my luggage lost in the sky?
37. Just when I wondered if I needed to cry, I saw my wounded suitcase out of my eye.
38. No time to try to find someone with whom I could complain, at least it wasn’t still on the plane.
39. Bolted out of the door in a sprinted way, to find the nearest cab to pay.
40. Was the traffic in this city always this slow, I wanted to yell..’You all must go!’
41. The cab pulled up to the gate, I realized then we were too late.
42. With teary eyes, I saw the ship pull away, my trip was over before I could play. 
43. A year of planning, hoping and saving, I could only watch all the goodbye waving.
44. What do I do now? I was completely lost, it was all gone at such a cost.
45. I did not know what to do, my dream left on the ocean blue.
46. Do I cry, scream or pray? My vacation had just gone away.
47. ‘Back to the airport’, I said in the car, to try and find a trip not far.
48. I closed my eyes and leaned in the seat, I did not want to think about this defeat.
49. I fell asleep and when I opened my eyes, I was in for a giant surprise.
50. I had awoken in my own bed, all of this was a dream in my head.
51. It was the day before my big leave, I hadn’t lost my trip, I got a reprieve.
52. This time there would be no mistake, I decided to pack now for goodness sake.
53. I grabbed my shorts, shirts and my dresses, a second chance with no messes.
54. Made a decision, on the spot, no work today would be my plot.
55. I took the day like the gift it was, until I’m sailing there will be no pause.
56. Bags were packed, extras were set, I will make my trip, on this I will bet.
57. Alarm clock was checked not once or twice, three time’s the charm, I knew the price.
58. I slept all night and awoke quite early, remnants of the dream still made me worry.
59. The taxi came right on time, no traffic in sight helped ease my mind.
60. The airport was empty and my flight was easy, so far everything was breezy.
61. Made it to the port, with time to spare, the sun shone without a glare.
62. Waving goodbye to those on shore, my disturbing dream was no more.
63. Went to the pool, to enjoy the sun, now I knew the rest would be fun.
64. As I took a nice long sip of my drink that was shaken, a handsome man asked if the next seat was taken.
65. Some dreams are scary and some are blue, this dream may just be one that came true.
