Inspirational Poem - It's the Journey that's Important

It's The Journey That's Important...

Life, sometimes so wearying

Is worth its weight in gold

The experience of traveling

Lends a wisdom that is old

Beyond our 'living memory'

A softly spoken prayer:

"It's the journey that's important,

Not the getting there!"

Ins and outs and ups and downs

Life's road meanders aimlessly?

Or so it seems, but somehow

Leads us where we need to be,

And being simply human

We oft question and compare....

"Is the journey so important

Or the getting there?"

And thus it's always been

That question pondered down the ages

By simple men with simple ways

To wise and ancient sages....

How sweet then, quietly knowing

Reaching destination fair:

"It's the journey that's important,

Not the getting there!"
