Read together

In a land of ancient wonders,
Where towering buildings stand,
A world of history and culture,
A place that's truly grand.

There's a place called a condominium,
Where families come to stay,
And learn about their ancestor's past,
In a very special way.

At the Colosseum they'll visit,
Where gladiators once fought,
They'll see the battles that happened there,
And imagine what it was like a lot.

In the Pantheon they'll find,
The gods of ancient Rome,
And in the basilica they'll pray,
In their native tongue at home.

They'll taste the panini's delight,
A treat that's loved by all,
And savor the sweet gelato,
That'll make them feel so tall.

In this world of ancient wonder,
The past will come alive,
And in their hearts and minds will stay,
As long as they're alive.
