You have a wonderful trip they said By Wayne Ernzer

A letter to my to son while on his 9 month surfing journey around the world.

You have a wonderful trip they said
as I started on my way
now my journey has taken me to so many places
I wished I would have stayed
I have traveled w/ my buddies and I
have gone it all alone
encounters with people places and such
in the heat or chilled to the bone.
I have surfed the lower Americas
and snow boarded Europe's fluff white
of the food and drink I have savored
has helped to make this trip quite right
I am headed for Australia
a new board and trunks are at hand
and when I get to the beach-
w/ tears of joy in my eyes
I will run accost that sand
this is something I have been waiting for
and the waves I plan to ride.
are said to have a most beautiful shape
on which I am shure I will glide
If my words could ever express all the wonders
one experiences along the way
I know you would save all your pennies
and take a trip
such as this some day
