Analysis of An Adventure



Life is an adventure
with all its sights to see,
a brilliant, beautiful gift
that means everything to me.

Stranded in this desk of mine,
I sit and waste away
when what I should be doing
is traveling in another way.

I daydream of the stories,
of fantasies and danger,
of doing everything different,
and falling in love with a stranger.

Though my life I love,
I often dream of more,
I love my friends and family, yes,
but this is part of my core.

So every day is a new experience,
every minute begins anew,
so here I go, changing my life,
with all these things to do.
