I Have Travelled...by Horace

I HAVE TRAVELLED

I have travelled
I have travelled to meet friends
So that I might see them
And talk a while
And enjoy the pleasure
Of their company
I have travelled
I have travelled to see
And at times
The things that I have seen
Have been so beautiful
That tears of joy
Have run freely down my face
For I could never have imagined
Such things could exist
I have travelled
I have travelled to learn
And in so doing
Have grown and changed
And lost a little of the ignorance
That holds me so close
I have travelled
But sometimes
Sometimes I think I have travelled
For the sole purpose of returning home
My home is small and plain
And what little happens there
Would interest but a few
But it is my home
And I love it so

Thank you

Horace
