Wanderer

I wandered over hills and dales the wind against my back salmon running in the streams but I never learnt the knack among the fields of buzzing bees and butterflies a flutter distant sounds of thunder now sending wild birds to scatter I wandered near the ocean next to see a blue-green sea run my hands through yellow sand saw seagulls wild and free kicked my feet in rolling waves as they neared the shore if the ocean was not so far away I would visit here much more I wandered through a bustling town visited galleries full of art museums and posh playhouses not quite sure where to start sipped tea in an outdoor cafe and watched the people rushing by I could not live here anyway- seems the weather's rarely dry Then to the zoo oh! what a lark-I even saw a tiger panda's, penguins, polar bears and huge great ugly spider days of fun spent in the sun but, I can tarry here no longer its costing me a fortune all these trips out as I wander But, the days I really love the best and let there be no doubt are those I spend at home with you-not even going out for wherever I may wander there is no place I would rather be than drinking tea just you and me and watching the TV.

G'day Julie … with the attractions that you mentioned, I dare say it wouldn't be long before the wander bug struck again - nicely written Julie - Lindsay
