Inspired by the World


No matter how close or no matter how far

The paths I take and the people I meet 

Though the ideas and sights may seem bizarre 

The lessons and experiences cannot be beat 

And yes I travel to live and love 

But traveling to me is more than fun 

It instills in me that no place, no one, is above 

That each resides under the same sun 

Each country and culture connect as one 

One species, one earth, one world 

Acceptance and tolerance can’t be undone 

One doesn’t possess hatred at birth 

The diversity of the world is beautiful indeed

Its’ wonder alone never ceases to inspire me
