X Is For Xenophobia - Alphabe Thursday, July 1, 2010

Xenophobia (n) - fear or hatred towards foreigners, foreign countries, or anything foreign.

Other related words: xenophobic (adj.) and xenophobe (n)

X” Is For Xenophobia,

Which I hardly understand,

Since I always love to travel,

To an exotic distant land.

To feel hatred for things foreign,

Is something I don’t know,

I’m the first to pack my suitcase,

And am thrilled that I can go.

When I visit a foreign country,

I remember I’m a guest,

I respect the rules and culture,

It always works out for the best.

I spend some time in learning,

Before I start from home,

So I won’t feel like a stranger,

In the new place that I roam.

The food of other countries,

Is such a special treat,

I always find there’s something,

That I really like to eat.

I find most folks are friendly,

And, though it may take awhile,

Barriers are broken,

With the warmth of just a smile.

New Beginnings

Until we take that final breath,

There always is a chance,

To right a wrong we might have done,

To thrill to a romance.

It’s not too late to travel,

To a place seen in our dreams,

With exotic food and palaces,

Where the sun on marble gleams.

As long as we awaken,

We can make the most each day,

Of every golden opportunity,

That the Creator sends our way.

A change needn’t be dramatic,

It can simply be to smile,

It helps make life a little brighter,

And the journey more worthwhile.

Each day holds new beginnings,

Just waiting, if we choose,

Embrace life to its fullest,

For you’ve nothing at all to lose!
