Journey
The success of a journey is not only measured
by the fact that we reached the pot of gold;
not by the plains we traversed to our destination,
but by the seas, mountains and deserts we crossed.
For, a voyage must have a greater purpose;
Not only to take the gold at the end of the road.
We must leave a mark for others to hold,
so the steps that they take will be made as they should.
For treasures alone, no matter how numerous,
may not make one's name forever treasured,
but the deeds, so divine, that make a difference
in the needy life and weary souls of others.
