Something New

At times I long for something new.

As a vagabond I'd love to dabble,

with exotic lands to wander through.

That's why I often seek to travel.

Visit wondrous shores so very far.

Stroll barefoot on North Sea gravel.

Or one day soon see Myanmar,

the stunning Padauk golden flower,

shop for spice in a Yangon bazaar.

Experience rain of a tropical shower,

photograph a troop of kangaroo,

see the view from Skytree Tower.

Pwa Ga Nyaw Gloh

I try to talk -

but can you hear?

Are my words sounding clear?

Simply I will speak -

I hope that I am understood.

But is my language any good?

Read the script-

I shall not ignore.

Practice, practice, ever more.

Good job I hear-

How I wish this were true,

but still I have too much to do.

Give it time-

I will continue and persevere,

yes, it'll take longer than a year.
