The Places She Will Go

A beautiful protégé Is off to college in a city far away The parents are making plans To journey east together to mark the occasion Many summers ago my dad ride the train Accompanied me to the college in the port city We arrived in the city square Outside the train station The burgundy colored roofs sparkled In the morning sun Oh the years of traveling each of us must roam Places of wonder and sorrow one must see The love of youth in the fountain of Rome The calm of old man facing the rising storm As far as one can see in the horizon The road is endless to the vanishing point of time She will see a temple of people Seeking their fortune She will encounter heartaches and rain storm Life is a gift from above Unboxed and unwrapped In front of us every day Life is a gift from above Unboxed and unwrapped In front of us every day
