Coming and Going

I just returned
From where I've been.
From here to there,
And back again.
                                    
I saw everything,
From A to Z,
Across this land,
From sea to sea.
                                    
From upside-down,
To inside out.
From stem to stern.
From tail to snout.
                                                     
From east to west;
From north to south.
I earned my bread--
From hand to mouth.
                                    
From low to high,
From white to black.
I've been everywhere
And I'm going back.
