Everything stayed just the same
And so the lively little soul
Said "there is nothing here for me,
This world is growing old"
She packed up all her bags
Got ready for a new start
Said goodbye to all her friends
"I'll miss you all with all my heart"
She bought a ticket to Italy
Knowing not a word or phrase,
But laughed and wandered and saw a world
New to her in many ways
She traveled down to Egypt
To see marvels under the sun,
She met a man who lived by songs
He taught her how to have some fun.
Around and around the world she went
The lively little soul,
Learned all about the people
Who make this whole world whole.
And after twenty years,
She sent a little note
To her old life she left behind
"I don't miss you," she wrote.
