Natural Maps
January 28, 2011
If every wrong turn was right,
Every stumble a step in the right direction,
And every fall a way to fly,
I’m glad they led me to where I wanted to be.
The destination that I sought
Could not be found on a map,
On a GPS,
Or even by anyone else but me.
But along the way, I learned a less on most valuable:
‘tis not about the destination,
But the journey.
So, it seems that every wrong turn,
Every stumble,
Every fall
Led me to my final destination:
You.
