Someday

Here's a poem that Anna inspired me to write! ;)

Someday
By Jemison Stripes 12-19-12

Someday I’ll be famous
Someday I’m sure
Someday I’ll be traveling the world
No longer a tour.

I’ll be cruising through the Caribbeans
Standing face to face with the Sphinx.
Harvesting cacao beans with the Ghanians
Discovering exciting links.

I’ll see the Eiffel tower
And the Mona Lisa, too.
I’ll eat chocolate every hour
In Switzerland with you.

In Hungary I’ll celebrate Szent Mikolas Day,
I’ll visit temple ruins in Greece.
In a local Fijian village I’ll stay,
Sailing through the warm breeze.

I’ll climb to the top of Angel Falls
See the cherry blossoms in Japan.
I’ll walk along the Great China Wall
Yes, that is a very great plan!

There are so many places that I’d like to be
Traveling the world, no longer a tour.
Someday, maybe, maybe just maybe
I’ll be famous, I’ll wait no more.

But for now, I think that you’ll agree
I’m fine where I am, with my family at home.
Life’s not all about me, me, me,
But about sharing, and caring; it ought to be known.

So someday I’ll be famous,
Someday I am sure.
Someday I’ll be traveling the world,
But for now I’ll enjoy my life here.

Enjoy!
-Jemison Stripes
