THE JOURNEY

I was a traveler on a search,

In a search for something I lost

I was searching for hope,

I was searching for a piece of me that was lost

I was searching for redemption, a second chance

I took a journey, a pilgrimage,

To a different world, a different place

I found what I was looking for,

It was different from what I expected

There were no holy lights, no angels singing

It was found in the most unlikely places

It came in a smile of a child, who had nothing,

It came in the love of a girl who was going to die

It came in the new found friendships I made

It came in the form of surrender,

Surrender to my creator, my God

It came in the prayers of my loved ones,

It came in the love of a man who was afraid to love

But was willing to take a risk by loving me

In this journey, I learnt that

There will always be times when you are faced with a situation

And you will not be sure if it is a valley

When in any doubt, pray

Don’t worry yourself about getting all the details right

Do what your heart tells you and trust you will be fine

If you remember to laugh in the bad times

Knowing that some good must come out of them,

You will see the good

Most of all, you must remember that

You have the strength, courage, power and divine right

To change the course of your life to any direction you choose

Yes, I did find what I was looking for,

Because every experience is a lesson

And mine was the greatest I’ve had yet
