Annie, my love, my heart’s desire,
I’ve won the jackpot, our dreams are on fire!
We’ll travel the world, far and wide,
Together, side by side, our love will be our guide.
We’ll start in Africa, where savannas stretch far,
And witness the beauty of the wild, in all its star.
We’ll see the pyramids, and the Nile’s mighty stream,
And dance under the stars, in a romantic dream.
Next, we’ll head to Asia, where cultures blend and meet,
And taste the flavors of the East, in every single treat.
We’ll stroll through Tokyo’s streets, and visit the Great Wall too,
And in India’s spice markets, our senses will renew.
In Europe’s charm, we’ll get lost in the city of love,
And stroll along the Seine, hand in hand, sent from above.
We’ll visit Rome’s Colosseum, and the Eiffel Tower high,
And in the Uffizi Gallery, our hearts will touch the sky.
Then, we’ll fly to the Americas, where the skies are bright,
And in the Grand Canyon’s depths, our spirits will take flight.
We’ll dance in Rio’s Carnival, and in New Orleans’ jazz scene,
And in the Canadian Rockies, our love will be supreme.
But that’s not all, my dear, for we’ll venture far and wide,
To the frozen landscapes of Antarctica, where penguins will be our guide.
We’ll explore the icy shores, and the glaciers’ majestic might,
And in the research stations, we’ll learn through the day and night.
We’ll see the aurora australis, in all its ethereal glow,
And in the silence of the continent, our love will grow and grow.
We’ll be the first to set foot, in this unforgiving land,
And our love will be the beacon, that shines across this frozen strand.
Annie, my love, my heart beats for you alone,
And with this jackpot, our dreams are finally made known.
We’ll travel the world, and explore every shore,
And in each other’s arms, we’ll find our forevermore.
