Life is a journey
Through many terrains,
From gardens of pleasure
to deserts of pain.
From an ocean of love
to a jungle of hate,
From mountains of glory
to canyons of faith.
There's a highway for joy
and a highway for sorrow,
A road for today
and a road for tomorrow.
So choose your path wisely
and walk it with care,
if you follow your heart,
you'll find your way there.
I've swam in the ocean
and drank of it's wine,
I've ran through the jungle
and hung from a vine.
I've been to the garden
and planted seeds there,
I've been to the desert
and felt the despair.
I've climbed up the mountain
to touch the sky,
I went to the canyon
and started to cry.
I've travelled both highways,
both today and tomorrow,
I've basked in the joy
and wallowed in sorrow.
My path has been chosen
and I've walked it with care,
I followed my heart,
and I'm on my way there.
So I'll just keep walking
till I find what I'm after,
to mountains and oceans
and gardens of laughter.
:-)
