I always travel light,

Fleeting moments alight.

Endless days on the fly,

Endless nights on the sly.

In the wind but a feather,

Ready for all weather.

Keeping fit in life’s grove,

Always at home on the move.

Solid shoes for my protection,

Never fear any form of rejection.

Take no prisoners, no ransom,

Value blessings as they come.

To treasure what I know,

But drag nothing in tow.

Amazing places I have seen,

Subtle wisdom I have gleaned.

Give everyone their just due,

Remember fondly friends I knew.

As I say, I always travel light,

The end of the road now in sight.

When my end finally comes,

Ready to add up my sums.

Owe nothing to my enemies,

Owe everything to my friends.

Offer up anything left to pay,

In good faith, quietly slip away.
