LONG THE ROAD WINDS

 Long the road winds

Through the way stations of my life

Places of learning

Strengthening

Rest

Some

I would not recommend

If you can avoid

As stopping off places

But then

Who knows what lessons there

For others as for me

So I will not count them wrong

These rubbled paths

I went so freely down

Will not regret the choices made

Though detours they might seem

The Me that I am now

Is strengthened by the trials

As much as inspired

By the hopes

Perhaps a wiser person

I became through pain and sorrow

More given to understanding

Paths others may take or have

For having chosen of the same

Or similar

In my rashness or my youth

Decisions

Made from the not knowing

That I am worth much more

To Light Source and Universe

I simply could not see

The worth the value and the love

That is the truth of self

The hard lessons I have chosen

Might not needed to have been

Had I had chosen different paths

But this me is Me

So no regret no guilt no blame

I honour all I choose

For in the discovering

Of roads less travelled

Of bumps and potholes

Is the finding of Me

I will forgive my choices

By knowing

There is nothing to forgive

The moment is right

The journey revealed

My choices have bought me

To the knowledge of Me

They are perfection

In the teaching of self

For the Remembering

I am strong

I am complete

I am Me

It is enough
