Poem -
I Journey On
I journey on.
Failing to fail,
failing to succeed,
not really knowing which is which.
For each failure
there is a lesson and knowledge.
For each success,
a toy, and acquirement, a pleasure.
Each, a step on my journey and I discover,
It is my path that is my being;
not the falls,
not the climbs,
not the bruises,
not bones or the heart broken.
Not the praise and the glory,
not the rewards or the riches.
As I lay horizontal
breathing my last breath,
that which I accomplished
and that which I lost
or never had,
vanishes like the wind
leaving my lips.
What will matter
is the path on which I traveled,
And oh, what path it has been!

Robert! This is so insightful, powerful and deeply deep! Yes, yes, yes that's it exactly"
"What will matter is the path on which I traveled"…your life's history is detailed on every inch of ground you have placed your feet. I think all that is you will leave a presence on that path.
I so enjoyed this write!
