MY OWN UNIQUE JOURNEY by Fiona Goodwin

My own unique journey
Has collided with yours
Thank you for making me part of your itinerary
We will look back and we will say
Do you remember that day?
And then this happened and then that happened
And how we were changed
Sometimes we are white knuckling this right?
Sometimes our lives get so interesting
That we Ask to get off the ride
We say to the ticket collector
“I wasn’t ready for that
I’m not brave enough, strong enough, kind enough “
And other times when the line is short
We respond to the offer to go again with a big
“yes this is fun
And those moments define us
And down the road we will look back
Knowing that something changed
I’m hoping to get kinder, braver
But most of all
I hope I will just be
Loving enough to Be okay with who I am
