In the distance, they saw
Tables laden with food
Not wanting to be rude
They headed out
One by one, forward march
Conveyances they lack
They’ll carry on their backs
All they will take
Determined oh they were
They kept the goal in sight
Focused with all their might
On the picnic

Those
Ancient
Explorers
Looking beyond
Were exercising
Their curiosity
Wanting to know even more
Than someone told them existed
Because they imagined that something
Was waiting for them, to be discovered

Your birth certificate
Journey’s passport given
Wish to explore driven
Map out your life

You’re ever immortal
When you live in one’s heart
Now you can never part
And time stands still

Momma gathers twigs
Dreaming of an egg-filled nest
Needs the perfect spot
