My Journey Was Brave

My Journey Was Brave 

***

I was on a journey

A wanderer and pilgrim

I have kept little for myself

Left my conventional life behind

Did not know the goal

Or purpose of my journey

Thousand times I stumbled

Each time steadied myself

Oh, I was on my way

To find the star of love

Sensed it shining

Down from heaven

A light distant and holy

Now I can see it

But it's too late

It's moved on 

In it's soaring

Heavy morning rain 

Blows in my face

Bright brilliant world

I'd grown to love is leaving

Never found a pot of gold

But I know this: 

My journey 

Was 

Brave
