After all these misadventures
And dangers of the heart
There had to be something
That would ease my weary soul
Once I traveled in circles
Because I had no home
Around the world and back
Killers, and thieves and pickpockets
Trickled through the roads of my life
But, the simple kindness
When you share your smile
That's everything to me
And I need nothing more

Very unique approach. I like the form of irony you used in this, the middle section of this really was the icing on the cake. Great job, and wonderful entry. Good luck in the contest :]]
