A poem for Erin


There once was a girl from Greenwich,
Who loved life to the fullest
And who loved to imagine of places in the world.
                The splendid, wonderful, far flung places
                                                                She wanted to learn more.
To see these places, to feel them. Feel their liveliness.
Their jaunty feel to them. The history behind them.

                                She wanted to experience it.

From the city in Connecticut to
                Italy, where the ancestors hailed from,
                The green fields of Italy, oh yes, the green of Italy
                The green of life, pure and lively; oh how beautiful that is.
The liveliness of what that country has to offer, and it’s people
                oh the people
                                the people that make life wonderful.

But for now, she was focused on going from lovely green to unique orange.

                                The orange of the outback of Australia.
