Untrodden Path

In all the years of my travelling,

The journey down the untrodden path gave me bountiful years of life

I came back home wiser

I returned so much stronger

I began yearning for more, shortly after each journey.

When I set out to discover beyond the obvious,

Many a time I don't like the uncertainty

I hate it but I want to give up

I become my own cheerleader too sometimes

Yet, deep within, I know there is a promise in each such journey

Whatever I pick along is priceless - a stone, a rose or a trick

They serve me a lifetime.
