Crossed the Ocean in a Raft

     I’ve seen the sphinx and pyramids
        Climbed Kilimanjaro and Everest

     Crossed the ocean in a raft, I did
        So, which thrill was the best… 

     Lest you think I notch my belt
        with each of these conquests 

     Sabbath meals with my family
         are where I’m truly blessed

Your "Crossed the Ocean in a Raft" was a fun read. I love the ocean but No raft for me. You take the raft and I will take a big ship. Bet I get there first. Hahaha!!! Have a great spring day..............
