ASKING THEMSELVES THE QUESTION WHY, SOMEONE LEFT THEM WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE……………

I TRAVEL WITH MY THOUGHTS

, I TRAVEL WITH MY PEN…….

TO WRITE ABOUT CHILDREN, WOMEN AND MEN……

I TRAVEL WITH MY VOICE, I TRAVEL WITH MY HOPE…..

THAT SOMETHING NEW,WOULD SPRING INTO MY HOROSCOPE…. WHETHER IN ASIA,AMERICA OR EUROPE…

THERE’LL ALWAYS BE SOMETHING INTERESTING TO SCOPE……

I TRAVEL TO MANY DIFFERENT PLACES….. MIX WITH MANY RACES…..

IDENTIFY TRIBESMEN BY THEIR FACES…..

….AND LITTLE GIRLS BY THEIR LACES.

I TRAVEL WITHOUT MONEY, SO,PLEASE LISTEN TO MY TESTIMONY…..

THE GOOD,THE BAD AND EVEN THE UGLY, EVERY EXPERIENCE IS WORTH LIFE’S JOURNEY
