The Journey's Destination

Two goals, two dreams to aspire to,

But I could not accomplish both

I made the choice that people do,

And chose the wealth instead of growth


The wealth was fun, although I knew

My heart was somewhere else for sure,

I missed the goal that brought anew,

The pride I felt within my core


I slept through nights, and lived through days

Even though I did, unsatisfied

I’d ponder up a million ways

To reach the goal I left behind


Days turned to months, and then to years

Life unfulfilled, but still I tried

I persevered and felt the tears,

And sweat and blood pour past my eyes


The road was long, this I am sure

It took some time to find my way,

To find that pride within my core

The goal was reached this very day!
