A different pace
In this different place
Gimli, Manitoba.
Marriage of lake and land
Of woods and sand
History's on display
Abandoned farms mixed with plush abodes
A place where new buildings meet the old
Not quite north,
Not really urban
It's not all rural
But definitely not suburban
A bit surreal
There's a different feel
At the Viking on this night
Surrounded by kin
In-laws all, some short, some tall
They're glad we made it in
"Happy New Year!' they say
Without reserve and
Without delay
"Glad you're here to tonight"
A pleasant eve
A good reprieve
Thank you, Gimli for this night.
