Pardon me, kind Sir.
It seems yet again
I’ve taken many a twist
And yet another turn

Our destination won’t likely come
As we planned with the setting sun
But we shall get there
I don’t mean to linger
Or wander along the way
But so much beauty lies around each bend
And I know your aim is industrious
But if you would be so kind
To indulge a wandering mind
We’ll reach the journey’s end in due time
But cool rivers seem to beckon toes
And hills long to be climbed
And this beautiful tree bends her boughs
To make this perfect spot to recline
Duty calls and deadlines screech
But can’t we for but a day
Take in the treasures along the path
Enjoy adventure along the way
Because the day becomes the night becomes the day
And soon
The bones will be too frail to leap
In and out of the rabbit holes
So let’s take it all in before we sleep
