My Dream Vacation

I want to take a walk by the beach, Listen to the sound of the roaring waters, I'd love to take a seat by the palm trees, Listen to the symphony from the evening orchestra band, I'd love to sit in a park, Surrounded by nature's beauties, In awe of its craft and design, Listen to the sweet songs from the hummingbirds, Harness my creative prowess, I want to sit on the porch, Drowned in the view of the sun's set, I want to go on a safari, Watch the animals uncaged and unrestrained, I’d love to go on an adventure, Climb mountains and hills, Listen to the sound of music from waterfalls, Stroll across a rope bridge, Go on a walk through caves, Frightened and thrilled by my encounters, I want to have a view of other cultures, See the world beyond where I'm constrained, There are so many places I'd love to go, There are so many beautiful places I'd love to see, Paradise on earth, Wonders on earth's landscape, I’m of hope that fortune will smile my way, Take me on a trip to these wonderlands.
