Read together
Come gather 'round, young ones, and listen to my tale
Of a trip and some travel that did not quite fail
It happened during summer, when the sun was high in the sky
And a job offer came knocking, my oh my!
I guessed it was time to pack my bags and hit the road
To see new sights and hear stories that are yet untold
So I went on a journey, with my backpack by my side
And off I went, with a heart full of pride
During my travels, I saw mountains tall and wide
And rivers that flowed, with a soothing lullaby
I met new people and made friends that will stay
And memories that will last for many a day
So don't be afraid to take a trip and travel afar
To explore new places and discover who you are
And who knows, a job offer may come your way
And you'll be off on an adventure, without delay!
Talk about it
