Life, sometimes so wearying
Is worth its weight in gold
The experience of travelling
Lends a wisdom that is old
Beyond our 'living memory'
A softly spoken prayer:
"Its the journey that is important,
Not the getting there!"
Ins and outs and ups and downs
Life's road meanders aimlessly?
Or so it seems, but somehow
Leads us where we need to be
And being simply human
We often question and compare,
"Is the journey so important
Or is getting there?"
And thus its always been
That question pondered down the ages
By simple men with simple ways
To wise and ancient sages...
How sweet then, quietly knowing
Reaching destination fair:
"Its the journey thats important,
Not getting there!"
