The simple truth was revealed to me
….when I was in the woods…
this world needs us all….
    doctors   …..painters …and Robin Hoods
 
How I learnt of this golden rule…
…it is my pleasure to reveal:
     I was going on a jungle trek…
…..with great excitement and zeal…
 
I took a narrow….winding trail
     along the bushes and the trees….
   breathing-in the wild fresh air…
      adventure….no- less –than- the- one-on-high-seas !
 
I reached a spot…in the jungle
…where many a trail branched out…
….not sure….which one to take…I wondered
….if there was help… if I could call or shout….
 
Finding no one…I had no choice…
    and I quickly made up my mind…..
    I shall choose one trail…follow my hunches…
          ….hoping the woods would be kind !!!
 
 Then I left such doubts behind
     and went further in the deep…
          it was  wonderful…the place so lovely…
              fond memories….I shall always keep !
 
Each turn….offered many new options…
         The path forked into many ways…
……….but now I knew……the tact….the trick …..
       I could have walked for days !
 
Each path was fine….each option nice…
      the whole jungle was great ….
           each trail took me to some enchanting place….
…it was pointless to ponder….and wait !
 
I entered the woods….a tourist and explorer…
       who wanted to photograph and paint  …
            but when I walked through this heaven…
                 I came out….almost a saint !
 
Now I know the golden rule…..
     I really don’t mind to share :
         Unless one likes the journey…..the happiness…
      in reaching….   a goal…..
                is not exciting…. …..simply bare !!!
