    the world

    they said , you have every thing you need right here
    but the man wanted to travel around the world
    they, said but you have so much responsibility
    and the man said it will still be here when i return
    on his way to work one day he turned left instead of right
    one year , to the day , he returned - with the world

    Really wish it were longer once I got down to the end and was into it I was disappointed to find out it ended. This is a beginning of some potential here, keep it up and up

    I just adore the way you put such thought provoking words into a few short lines and turn it into perfection. -- JEN

    I love this write! Its so simple, yet says so much about the choices we make day to day. One small change of direction can change a life forever. Brilliant!

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
