Today, I woke up

to the cool kisses of the breeze

to the warm embrace of the sun

to the splashing of the playful waves on the beach

and the day has just begun

Tonight, I'll sleep

under the blanket of the stars

under the watchful eye of the moon

I'll close my eyes and dream of countries afar

of countries I'll travel to soon.
