Mavis Jackson Poet Rhyme

How Did I Get To Here

How did I reach this place and get to here?
Did I have a long exciting journey
With awe inspiring events at every turn?
Did I have to drag myself through the mire 
To then endure a very bumpy ride?
Did I along my pathway many lessons learn?

Was the distance I travelled a long way
Or was I already somewhere near?
Did I know what was to be my destination
Or did I not even travel at all
Because I was in fact already here?
Was I a figment of my imagination?

How did I reach to now, to this moment?
Did the Lord give to me a helping hand?
Did I set out to journey to exactly here?
Did I choose the path I took, was it planned?
Was I surprised when I finally found
That I was right here on this familiar ground?

Did I reach the top, the summit I sought?
Was my ticket with tears or laughter bought?
Was I aware I travelled, did I want to strive
For perfection, or average each day?
Just how and why did I want to arrive?
Is it all an illusion just about to fade away?
