Amid life's great journey,

I wandered off the path,

And found myself adrift and lost,

In a world both wild and vast.

The trees around me towered high,

Their leaves a sea of green,

But none of them could guide me back,

To where I should have been.

The sun beat down upon my skin,

And sweat ran down my face,

But still, I could not find my way,

To any known landmark or place.

And so I stumbled on and on,

Through fields and streams and hills,

Until at last, I found a road,

That led me back to stills.

And though I lost my way that day,

I learned a lesson true,

Sometimes being lost can lead to,

To the paths we never knew.
