I’ve been dreaming of having the money and time to travel where I want and spend my time as I please. This poem reflects what I see in those dreams. Enjoy! Where Do You See Yourself? There’s so much beauty to be found, At place where land meets sky. Horizons call and beckon me, To…

I am well aware that not everyone will agree with today’s poem and that’s okay. This post reflects my views on the current situation. Thank you for keeping any comments polite, respectful and brief. COVID 19 This virus, such a tiny thing, How quick, how far it spread. Around the globe in just a year,…
