why We're Going

It's not because we think elsewhere
The skies are bluer than our own,
Or that we think more swectly fair
Must be the land that is unknown.
It's not that we're unhappy here,
For here is all that makes life gay
But still we feel that every year
It's up 70 US to 80 away
We are not wandering because
We've wearied Of our little home.
To seek from strangers loud applause
Is not the reason that We roam.
We do not feel that east or west
Wen find more treasures than we
know
Right here about our little nest;
Yet once year some where we go.
We don't believe the August moon
Is brighter miles and miles away
Or that Wen find greater boon
Than could be had if we should stay
We've all that we desire right here.
Yes, all that elsewhere could be had
Yet once year we disappear
Because 1t seems 10 lie the fad.
