A Vacation, Almost, Not For Me

After careful thought Alot of consideration I've decided to dedicate My one and only vacation First stop is helping Roger For he is in despair He lost his only son in Iraq But his belongings are everywhere Then I'm off to Redding A lady there had the heart of my best friend I need to give her something of his Reminding her there a new beginning to every end Trinity Falls has beauty I've never seen before I'll stop here for a day To keep my butt from getting sore From there I travel the coast Shelter Cove is where I'll land Hand delivering a job To a client in basking on the ocean sand Down to Vegas My son I need to see He calls just to say I Love You Can you bring some boxes to me Somewhere in the desert I will set old items on fire Forever discarding the memories I've kept For the man my heart desires Then, helping my parents We've got water to move Our orchard is growing And more building permits to approve I'll see ya all in a while I better get my butt in gear I'll write as I travel For loniless is my only fear
