The journey is the Gift

Treasures In The Garden

From Singapore

Journey's End...

I once set sail
for a distant horizon
and I found myself adrift
in a vast blue sea.
  I kept my vision primed
on what lay ahead of me.
No matter what I had,
I knew there must be
something more,
way off in the distance
on a faraway shore.
I didn't see the beauty
of the stars on high.
I was oblivious of the rainbows
after the clouds passed by.
It took me such a while
to finally comprehend,
that the gift was the journey--
not what I would find at the end.

Wow! What a gift.

  I was looking too far ahead!
