Of ships & boats,

Of traveling in same,

Of seeing whales & dolphins,

Of wearing differing coats…J

Of driving across this great country,

Of seeing the Rockies & Pacific ocean,

Of forging my own trails, rough roads of constant motion,

Of living from the land, self-contained status,

Of seeing my first & only redwood tree…J

Of seeing amber waves of grain,

Of feeling the laid back attitude of the plain states,

Of finding it hard to take a breath due to altitude,

Of sitting high on a mountain & taking in the view,

Of meeting new people, walking beaches of white sands,

Of having the wherewithal to accomplish all this and more,

Before I am so old that turns to mush my brain…J
