The Journey

Sometimes we lose something
that is precious and dear.
We are unsure how we lost it,
as the reason is is not always clear.
In our search to find it
we discover other things lost,
some of which we had forgotten about.
Then we find what we had lost
and think back on the journey
we took to find it.
The answer why we misplaced it
suddenly becomes clear
in the journey we took to find it again.

I'm always losing things, is my age!!!!!!!! It is amazing that when you do find it you cannot remember putting it there in the first place. Happy New Year David with all good things coming our way.

I often wonder why things happen, or get lost, in our lives. What are we to learn from it? I think someone knows better than we when we need a little kick in the behind - haha! Nicely written, David - makes alot of sense.

A roundabout journey of losing and finding is sometimes quite irksome but you describe it so well with your experienced pen. Happy New Year to you David .
