TRAVEL

Traveling is a way that folks get away.
Away from their troubles, and away from their sorrow.
Traveling also permits us to be there with family in the time of need,
And modern travel gets us there with amazing speed.

By plane you can see the expanse of the American lands,
From lush green coastlines to the desert sands.
At airports you can see and hear business transact,
And while you wait, watch passengers rush by in flocks.

Traveling, when not in a rush, gives time to reflect and that is a must.
Mediate and rest your eyes, while the pilot watches the skies.
And catch your breath, from all that angst, that change has brought.

I was happy to hear that you'd booked your flight,
And glad to hear your voice last night.
It felt right for you to go back home, and see just how much you've grown.
But mostly I'll just be happy to see,
You right back here in Cali with me.
