Amidst the bustling streets and lanes, The tourist wanders, free from chains, Exploring lands both far and near, Seeking wonder, without any fear. They brave the seas and skies so vast, In search of memories that will last, And though they journey far from home, In every place, they find their own. They marvel at the ancient sites, And bask in history’s shining lights, Admiring cultures, diverse and bright, And losing themselves in new sights. Their cameras click and capture all, The beauty that surrounds us all, And as they move from place to place, A trail of memories they do trace. They touch the hearts of those they meet, Bringing smiles to strangers on the street, And though they soon may leave again, Their impact on our hearts remain. So let us thank the tourist kind, Whose journeying feeds our curious mind, For they are the ones who help us see, The beauty in our own country.
