Not everything is bad
Each time I look back
I couldn't be more glad
With each passing step
I see the need to connect
To stay in touch
Remain as one with the Source
Things I tried out
They worked out for me
Advised others the same
Can't say it worked out the same
Not to say I didn't face failure
Or had things go a different way
Than planned. But looking back
I couldn't be more proud
I look around
And see the world around me
I ask about my counterparts
Where is your sense of adventure?
Not to say they tried their way
And it didn't work their way
Or that I was right
And they were wrong
Maybe it's because I
Have age on my side
And time against me
That I could afford to be
Able to leave everything behind
And never my steps rewind
Everyone talks about the money
But to me, it was kind of funny
How like I had no roots
I couldn't not leave behind
But always I ask myself
Where is their sense of adventure?
Perfect chance
Perfect timing
For long, the road, I
Had been pining
I met promises along the way
And deception along in its wake
I came to appreciate more
The things I gained along the way
A blessing
From out the blue
An environment
With warmth beyond words
I returned home
With the blessings of a million
Older,
Perhaps, even wiser..
Not to say
There's no situation,
Or person
That God can't use for you
Or to think
Because it worked for us
It definitely has to be our way!
But I'm grateful for my way
Yet each time it comes up
I think about their days
I think and ponder
Where's that sense of adventure?
Yet, of course, I wonder
What could have been
If we all decided
To take the plunge..
I realised, then
That our decisions
Were driven
By two things
What to gain
Or what we could lose
For me,
I just wanted to be free
Leave it all behind
And see where the wind leads me
Perhaps I was selfish
But it all aligned perfectly
I think perhaps
God honours our wishes
Works within his means
To make us happy
Like the choices are before us
And the magnitude of the harvest
And one way or the other
We are all his children after all...
But I can say for a fact
That I had no regrets
For God was kind enough
With His manifold blessings...
