The Journey

THE Journey

It’s not about the
Victory
It’s about the journey

It’s about who we become
Through the
Journey

It’s about who we are
After the 
Journey

The path is too long
The road too narrow

Why me, why my life and loves
Why my marriage, my family
I really don’t understand

It’s not about the 
Victory
It’s about the journey

Who we become through 
Life’s trials

While waiting for them
To pass
While waiting to be delivered
Who are we then?
It’s not about the 
Victory
It’s about the journey
It’s about us

I totally loved this poem. You echoed what I always say, "it's all about the journey".

It's refreshing to know that some people can see this reality, because far too many don't unfortunately.
