In My Travels
I haven't published a poem for awhile, so I thought I'd throw one out there. I have actually been working on a book of poetry...hopefully, I will get it published soon. Hope you enjoy the poem and thanks for reading!
I traveled a million miles,
and this is what I found.
What works for you may not for me,
not just one way is sound.
It makes no difference to me
whether it's black, white, or gray.
Who you are and what you do -
that's not for me to say.
I may respectfully disagree at times
but not to bring you harm.
Our differences in life can be
what lead to all its charm.

Did you finish that book of poems yet? Miss seeing you around!
Very nice--you seem like an easygoing person.
I could learn a LOT from your poems Jill!!! :)
Great poem to tell us we can't pick or choose anyone else or their destiny. Though it would be nice to do so.
Very good poem.
If everyone was the same...what a boring world it would be! Terrific piece and let us know when your book is finished! :)
