World Cruise

W henever I retire, 
O nce my lump sum comes,
R emind me of my promise to
L oad my case and not return.
D estination.....The World. 

C ruising on a slow boat.
R oaming the seven seas.
U nder balmy star fill skies,
I 'll sip herb infused teas.
S eeing all the different countries,
E nvisioned only in my dreams.

Thank you Bawa. But I must let you into a secret.....I would never drink tea if I could have red wine instead.

Words chosen to create a beautiful dream--and it's done so right, it will of course, come true!

Thank you for your kind comment Vijay. When I was a child, my father often said he wanted to go on a slow boat to China. A wonderfully strange man, he had many little quotes such as this. He never made it, but perhaps I will fulfil his dream.
