From whence do you hail?
how quickly did you set sail?
or did you ever leave at all?
maybe didn't have the gall?

If you left, did you look back?
or did you set off down the track?
did you leave somebody there?
do they know that you still care?

Have you returned to get away?
perhaps you went home to stay?
if so, did you enjoy the ride?
now you walk old streets with pride?

Are holiday travels your limit?
only there for quick visits?
do you continue on your stride?
from old friends, do you hide?

The answers define who you are,
whether you travelled near or far.
Experiences, life and decisions made,
whichever, all your options weighed
