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
