“that inner journey starts the day we're born . . .
we pray the road be worthy, fully worn”
_by poet
life becomes an inner journey
one which we shape and travel birth to death
that's semi-planned and influenced
by circumstances that direct and form our youth
yet at some stage the journey's up to us
to then complete the steps . . .
but signs are missing from our view
and so our moving on comes from within
sometimes it leads to a dead end . . .
to start and plan again the path we take
genetics sometimes lies in wait
to spring its inborn path
and moves us to a road we recognize
as so familiar in our genes . . .
but many times there is no guide to lead us on
and we must follow roads that suit us best
a task that is not simple but with diligence
that journey we create
to travel through the years . . .
we hope presents a fulfilled lifetime in the end
