I am a citizen of the world <br />and my home is my abode: <br />Rivers, lakes and valleys <br />are my sources of life; <br />Trees, birds and mountains <br />are my pride! <br />I am a citizen of the world <br />and my home is my abode: <br />Seas, fishes and oceans <br />are my sources of hope; <br />Shorelines, rocks and beaches <br />are my cliches! <br />I am a citizen of the world <br />and my peace is your company: <br />My children, relatives and friends <br />are my sources of strength; <br />Their love, care and tender touch <br />are my tabernacles. <br />I am a citizen of mankind <br />and the whole world is my abode.<br /><br />Gil Gregorio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-a-citizen-of-the-world/
