This poem was written on the plane from Phoenix to Philadelphia on my way home Holiday I decided I needed a break and wondered which route Id take Arizona came into my head I then booked a flight to which was my delight I booked on line to a Motel and thought I would do some sight seeing as well I flew from Edinburgh to Philadelphia and then on to Arizona the flight was long I didnt sleep I couldnt even count any sheep I eventually arrived in Phoenix Arizona Airport, while I was waiting at the carousel my computer case turned into thin air I checked with US Airlines, they told me my computer case had never been handed in I asked if I could see a cop the cop dully arrived my story I could not stop He said hold it there Mam are you from Scotland I said yes, he rolled up his sleeve to show me his tattoo, I said look at you A Campbell you have a Clan my man, he showed me pictures of his family they were so cute his wife and four beautiful girls this cop was six foot tall and to me beside him who is so small I told him my name by this time we had great fame, he said where are you planning to stay, I told him I was going that way We exchanged email addresses and he told me if I ever needed anything to get in touch I said thank you very much, he told me his name was Troy oh what a boy Here was a cop (policeman) in a different land giving me a helping hand I got a Taxi and headed to my motel oh my lord I did not like it well, I spend a few days there and then I emailed Troy my fathers Scottish song, I got an email back he loved the song and asked me how I was getting along I said Im not happy here, I may try another place near to take a trip to Sedona to see the sights and to my delight he said him and his wife were talking about me and how would I like to come and stay He said he would come and pick me up I couldnt believe what was in front of my eyes four beautiful girls it was a wonderful surprise They lived in the desert on a huge Ranch raised their own beef, eggs from their chickens, dogs and cats I was in my element there as I was brought up on a farm and was glad to be there We had so much fun the girls and I a lovely family so much love it had been give from above We went here we went there we went everywhere, they treated me like one of the family, it was a wonder to see There friends could not believe I was there, everyone was so kind, and to this day I think it I was so lucky to meet this family The kindness I cannot explain as it was more than Ive ever known, the problem came when I had to go home I think about my stay every day and the girls their Mother and Father I left behind I plan to go back next year we will have more cheer I thank you Erika, Troy, Katie, Chyeanne, Georgia, and my little friend Gracie
