Journey Through Japan: Memories, Friendship, and Blessings (A poem for a friend)

 

Journey Through Japan: Memories, Friendship, and Blessings

In Japan's amazing land, we had quite a blast,
From Tokyo's bright lights to Kyoto's rich past.
Nara's deer were friendly, in Hakone we soared high,
With Mount Fuji's grandeur painting the sky.

In Tokyo, we marveled at a tower so tall,
Osaka's castle stood strong, like a sturdy wall.
Kyoto's temples, castles, and shrines so neat,
Every place we explored made our journey complete.

Our day in Hakone, oh what a thrill,
Mount Fuji's view gave us quite the chill.
Throughout our adventure, just you, me, and Neko,
Making memories together, come rain or echo.

And on that special night in Kyoto town,
With Luup's ride, we truly got around.
From Kyoto station to our hotel's glowing light,
Biking and scooting, it felt just right.

As we head home to Taiwan, responsibilities anew,
May happiness find you in all that you do.
Dear Neko, our travel buddy, through thick and thin,
Thanks for being with us, with your friendly grin.

In Japan's land of wonder, memories will stay,
Of deer in Nara and Fuji's grand display.
With gratitude in my heart, this message I send,
As we return to our world, may our journey never end.

And as I look back on the adventures we've laid,
I thank God for the friendship we've made,
For moments we've shared, both big and small,
In Japan's enchanting land, may God bless us all. 🙏

And one more thing, if I may,
A small wish for your health, I'd like to convey.
Reduce those sugary treats and chips, just a tad,
Drink more water each day, it's not all that bad! 😄
