Smiles, hugs and kisses Make the world go around Lots of love does abound It comes with a sweet sound Go to the airport and see People interacting affectionately Embracing tightly and joyfully Saying goodbye tearfully Greeting newcomers happily Welcoming familiar faces Travelers from many places Weary from their long journey Seeking some friendly company A helping hand to carry luggage Escort them to get their baggage Secure ground transportation To get to their destination Others just arriving to depart Packing properly is a work of art Not bringing too much unnecessarily Whereby you pay for excess dearly Sometimes airline reps are friendly Comforting the perplexed soul Who's damaged wheels don't roll After check in, on to security you go To drop your backs for inspection TSA doing their daily investigation Of your prized personal belongings Oh, what joy a tender smile brings When you're exhausted by everything Overwhelmed by all of the tedious Travel items that heavily burden us The flight regulations that break us "Open your laptop, take off your shoes" Dead tired you proceed, but want to snooze After scanning all of your essential items Suddenly you recall something you did lose After which you must go back, circle around To check for what you forgot in lost and found All of this travel nonsense makes you frown Thankfully however usually someone is bound To interject a joke, or kind, encouraging word To lighten, uplift, and sustain your inner world Make you laugh when you are dreadfully bored Entertain you as you move frantically toward Where you are diligently endeavoring to go A gentle smile assures and helps you know You are not alone in this thing we call life Though you may be traveling without your wife Nevertheless people's smiles, hugs, and kisses Not necessarily to you, but all around about you Remind you that there is warmth and kindness Which strengthens you to get through all of this Experience an enjoyable journey with happiness Until you return to your beloved wife to hug and kiss.
