So many things I want to show her in my life.
So many places she hasn't seen.
All the things I have taken as normal in my time.
These places for her are an odyssey.
Foods from the far and exotic lands,
Things folks now see on TV.
I have eaten these as normal day of life,
she wants to to really see.
So many years now I have put pennies in this jar.
The jar that should bring this to a reality.
So with this dollar I fold a little note.
"Be sure to see for for me."
Chase that lobster with no claws
right across the ocean floor.
eat civichi with the natives at night.
Drink *** and coconut from the core.
Watch the sting rays do their mating dance,
let the howler monkeys make you laugh.
Take each step as I have done before.
Make each memory last."
