A Million Miles I Roam

I hang my hat, a million miles from home. And yet not so lonely, I feel never alone. Because my bird, and my cat, they keep me a goin'. While I read, and I write, as I talk on the phone. Yes! One million miles I roam. A long way to travel.While I sit on the thrown. No king, no queen, no castle to roam. Just a room with a bed, and a brush with a comb. I never feel lonely, I never feel sad. I've crossed many prairies. I've crossed many lands. I've crossed many trenches. I've crossed desert sands. Yet as I travel.As I travel alone. I'll be keeping my silence.I'll be keeping my peace. I'll be keeping my silence. One million miles from home. Please God show me mercy! I'll say a prayer to the Lord. Forgive all my trespass. A million miles I roam. Never a dull day. I have nothing to fear. Never a dull day. Do I make myself clear? So I hang my hat, a million miles from home. And yet not so lonely, I feel never alone. Because my bird, and my cat, they keep me a goin'. While I read, and I write, as I talk on the phone.. Travelers Poetry By Kim Robin Edwards Copyright 2010,2014.. ALL rights reserved

This poem may be considered an exagerated statement poem,or maybe hyperbole poetry.Because there is NOT one million mile of land on Earth to roam..We would have to also include the ocean!
