Well met

When people stop and ask me:
Well are you glad you went and left?
I turn to them and say:
Well met. And, indeed…yes.

I’ve been so many places.
And seen so many things.
I know for certain all the joys
that a full life truly brings.

I’ve converted from Pinocchio
to a real boy sans the strings.
My parents gave me sturdy roots.
Now I’ve spread my mighty wings.
