Not The Place To Travel.

Goldfinch60



In our lives we journey all over,

Go to so many places the longer we live.

When we look back we tend to realise,

Realise that it was not the places we went

That seemed to make it worthwhile,

But it is the people,

The people we meet on our life’s journey.

        I agree. Even if you don't travel you can still engage and find the world a more interesting place.

        • Goldfinch60

              So true! Our journeys through life are altered not by what we see but by those we meet. A wonderful poem, Andy. - Phil A.

                The poem offers a thoughtful reflection on the value of human connections and encourages readers to appreciate the people they meet on their journey through life.

                  On the road of life, sharing time with those we love and dear to us makes life worth living. Great philosophy Andy. 👍

                    You are absolutely right! Some of the most interesting interactions my husband and I have had when traveling have been with people we met along the way, folks from all over the world. Good write my friend.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Yes Bella, people we meet in our lives give us so many wonderful memories.
