A poem.... Kinda

  From Amsterdam to Naples I've traveled this far
Across mountains and rivers
To seas
And many bars.
There have been places and people I'll never forget
A life full of memories I'll never regret.
   
Time has moved slowly
As I've soaked it all in.
It felt as though I would  always 
have this permanent grin.

It's been two months since this adventure began 
Time sure sped up, 
As we near the end.

If there's one thing I've learned in my travels thus far
Life can be hell when your stuck in a car.
But it's a necessary evil, this is true,
It takes you places you haven't been before,
And when you arrive you surely must stop by the bar.

Talk to strangers
Buy them a drink
New people will help you find new ways to think.
Making friends wherever you go,
This is a knack you surely must know.

Taste new culinary delights.
Soak up new sights.
Rent a bike.
Take a hike.
Fly a kite.
You may come home with a new hobbie you really like.
  
Slow down and smell the roses.
Breath in the mountain air.
Feel the ground beneath you , and be happy that you are there.

 The world around you is a lovely place.
Not taking to time to see it
Now that's a disgrace. 
It's full of smiling friendly faces,
People just waiting for you to meet.
That's just something 
That can not be beat.

  1. She's a poet
    And didn't know it!
    From head to toe
    A true Longfellow!
