Wonders of the World I never saw the Taj Mahal I never walked the streets of Rome I've never been to Budapest Or wandered very far from home I've never seen Mt. Kilimanjaro Or looked into Tibetan sky Or sailed into the Hong Kong harbor Or spoke the language of the Thai I haven't yet sailed 'round the horn Nor did I drink of Chile's wine I never saw New Zealand's shore But wonders of the world are mine For I have watched a sparrow hatch I've gazed the planets of the night I've seen a graceful day lily Spread her arms to morning light I've listened to the mourning dove I've walked among the hollyhocks I've sat for timeless hours and watched Water gush through granite rocks I walked along the Ashley River And saw the moon dance on her crest I stood alone on Isle of Palms And watched the sun set in the west I've stopped to smell the summer rain I've known a lover's passion kiss I've sat beside the winter hearth To write poetry on days like this Elozabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 12-15-1999).] |

Not much to say to that except, a real pleasure to enjoy. |

Sigh--This kind of travel is my kind of travel--so beautiful Liz. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |
