There Are People Out There (Poem)

This is the second poem that I wrote about a nine day Aussie Wanderer tour I took of Western Australia earlier this summer. You can read the first poem (with pictures) entitled "There's Another World Out There" by clicking here. In this poem, each stanza was written about a specific incident on the trip.

There Are People Out There

There are people out there

Who want to explore

They’re called backpackers

And are in search of so much more

There are people out there

Who you trust although you just met

And when you don’t think you should

They remind you not to fret

There are people out there

Who will hold your hand

When you’re falling they’ll catch you

And pull you up to safe land.

There are people out there

Who tell you where your feet should go

And you just believe them

Although you can’t see what’s below.

There are people out there

Who walk with no shoes

They won’t complain and then they’ll say

It’s the best thing to do

There are people out there

Who will cook for you and clean your plate

It’s like each night we were on

A massive group date

There are people out there

Who are from all around the globe

And their kindness and camaraderie

Is so easily shown

We are Dutch, Aussies,

Scots and Germans

Italians, French, English,

Swedes and Americans

We aren’t just

Tourists or travelers

We are one together -

Aussie Wanderers.
