Where do you want to be and why? |
Do you know where you get By train or ship, by car or jet? You get Miles From Home Miles From Home Do you know how far you travel When you walk or pedal a cycle? You stay Closer Home Closer Home. So you decide - machine, or exercise? Engine, or sweat? How far do you want to get? Buy a ticket, take a ride Zoom past the countryside Or use your own feet and enjoy The sights, sounds, smells as you pass by. What's important? Being somewhere Or the fun of getting there? What do you find, Miles From Home The inspiration to write a poem? Do you have time to write it down Or are you busy zooming through the town? What's important - getting ahead Or staying put instead Is it about what you find In your heart, soul and mind? Meander, stroll, maybe be lost Seek yourself and pay the cost It doesn't matter where you go If all you have to show Is visa stamp and luggage tag And half-a-week of jet lag But if you've made a friend or two If your mind has ideas new If your heart and soul are nourished Then your travel is to be cherished Stay Close or go Miles from Home But don't forget the painting or poem. |
