Many Miles

A trip that’s many, many miles Is worth it if it garners smiles When you’ve arrived at long, long last Despite the hours that have passed. For if that traveling has brought You to a place where joy is wrought, Then that resulting fellowship Proves how worthwhile was your trip. So many people never roam, Preferring just to stay at home; But when you let your boundaries grow, You’ll reap rewards, more than you know.

How true that is. The rewards of travel are endless. To see beyond the next hill and then the next. What joy that adventure brings to our hearts. Good write. Enjoyed immensely .Andy Lyle

Traveling's nice if there's someone to share all the fun. But if there's no one there, it's all just thin air when your journey is finally done. Forgive the Debbie downer syndrome here. :) Maybe I should call it the Bobby Blues, or maybe the Robert rancouring. :) Peace. :)
