I'm Ready

I’m Ready

I'm ready for adventure,

At the dawn of this new day,

For an unexpected thrill,

That life might throw my way.

I'm ready for some travel,

To exotic, distant lands,

To swim in Bali's waters,

Or see Egypt's shifting sands.

I'm ready for new learning,

To enrich my mind once more,

I always thirst for knowledge,

And know there's more in store.

I'm ready for the world to change,

For all our wars to end,

I wish I'd see a time, somehow,

We'd call each other "friend."

I'm ready for some changes,

I guess I’ll start with me,

Perhaps they'll be contagious,

And others might agree.

I'm ready for a romance,

The "forever after" kind,

I know I'll have to search,

For those are hard to find.

I'm ready for what life may bring,

I hope my dreams come true.

I'll keep the faith until I find,

Someone just like you!
