Throughout all of my travels, Egypt has been one of the most powerful and memorable places. The experiences I had gave me insight into the beauty and depth of living life to the fullest, the richness of cultural traditions and heritage, and the importance to cherish family and friends. The lessons I learned from being there are vast, a vastness that extends beyond words. For those who have visited Egypt as well, they understand the overwhelming emotions you have there, and how no matter what it entices you for more. Here is a poem that captures these feelings...
For Egypt is a boat ride down the waters of life, the waves traveling the distance, the sun shines and the stars twinkle by night.
For Egypt is a melody, a joyful beat, a dancing of drums and a stomping of feet.
For Egypt is a sunrise, bearing the darkness of night, the hopeful sun beams of truth and of light.
For Egypt is a smile, of all those who walk past, a kind word of a stranger, a friendship to last.
For Egypt is a cup of tea, warm and bright, a spice of a history a taste of delight.
For Egypt is the silhouette of a camel traveling across the dunes, a mysterious sight with the light of the moon.
For Egypt is the call to prayer, echoing through the streets, a moment of reflection, a joy so sweet.
For Egypt is a mystery, that no story can tell, an ancient past of glory and an empire that fell.
For Egypt is a family, a home away from home, a place of such magic and memories forevermore.
