I'm grateful for the road thus far
The detours and wrong turns
The missteps on the journey
Are how a pilgrim learns
I'm thankful for the love I've known
Including those I've lost
The price for all they gave to me
Was worth the painful cost
I'm blessed by kindred spirits
Who keep my spirits high
When weathering the darkest days
And helping me get by
I'm grateful I'm still learning
From the travelers before
And thankful for the path they walked
For this and so much more
It's not the destination
But the sacred company
That makes the journey all worthwhile
And sets my spirit free
