Where We Came From

Let’s reminisce

About the days

When we were old enough

To know better

But young enough

Not to care.

When we spent

Our hard earned money

On temporary satisfaction

Gone as soon

As they’d been obtained.

Liquid courage

To get us through

The days to come-

And the only things

We have to show

For our mistakes

Are the friendships

That made us stronger

And the lessons

We’ll never forget.

 

Journey

She wanted to see the world

See the ocean crashing on foreign sands,

The architecture of religion,

Accents in the cafes.

 

She promised to see the world

Dine with the Queen

Safari, Sahara, Sayonara

A journey from North America to anywhere else…

 

But her passport was expired.
