The Traveler

I have felt the scorching sands I have been to many lands I have seen what wars have done But have left somethings undone I have lost a special one And have even loved someone I have learned to pray and hope But have never met the pope I have traveled to the East And have lived for years in Greece I’ve been to the Amazon But never had a grandson I have sailed the seven seas I even learned Portuguese I’ve even had a lover Yes, I had a real lover I have met a president And have felt some discontent But have always been serene Though I never met the queen I have searched from sea to sea, And have always been carefree At the end I came to see What I’ve searched for was in me

Hello Sunshine. Being well traveled not only provide us with numerous memories, but will open our eyes to endless possibilities.

- A wonderful story about a life of travel and adventure, Carlos :) - We have to travel and experience when we are young when we grow old and unable to pack our suitcases ... we can live long on beautiful memories :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Yes Sunshine, our memories stay with us if we relive them in our dreams or in our writes.
