A Journey

After traveling the universe,
I decided to travel my own earth,
Carrying in my luggage
Only my mind and heart...

In my way to Egypt,
I stopped in Jerusalem
Kneeling down and kissing
The Holy Land...

I kept going, landing on top of a pyramid
Finding myself praying to the Lord...
In minutes I was in Mecca,
Searching for the prophet Mohamed....

I saw the green pasture of Ireland
Trying to find Rachel Ann Butler
And give to her my love
Along with a red rose...

I went across to the United Kingdom
To meet Sir John Knight
Shake his hand and have a chat
And show to him my true friendship...

The trip seems endless,
So, I have no choice
But to keep on going to reach my goal,
Traveling the whole world...

After being impressed by the city's lights
Seeing from the top of the Eiffel Tower,
I flew to the Vatican City
Where I kissed the Holy Father's hand...

Lost in the crowd running away from the bulls,
I found myself tired in Barcelona...
I decided to get a physical and spiritual rest
In the God's Blessed land of India...

In my desperate need to see the world,
I flew to the Philippines
Having the honor to meet Lady Grace,
Whom I gave a kiss on her cheek...

Realizing I was still in New York,
Since I never really left,
Now, it is up to you
To tell me what happened, I am confused!
