I started on this earthly journey, years ago,
I have traveled, A million miles,
With no idea, how many I have left to go.
Meeting people, on both sides of our planet,
Enjoying, different customs, and ways,
Visiting, the other side of the world,
In less time, than the hours, in one day.
Alone I came, to begin my mission,
After my birth, on that day,
Now passed the half way point,
I still move on by myself
During my stay.
Collecting, pictures, in my mind,
Many different Places,
Sharing Memories, emotions,
While still remembering,
Some of their faces.
Never knowing, until the time,
Where next, I will go,
With someone, or alone,
Or where my next life will be,
Only after they carve,
My name in a stone
