Even the shortest journey
Has A Thousand Ways to stumble.
You fall, you Get Up.
There’s no need to be humble.
Years of effort and planning
Have A Thousand Ways to crumble.
The clues are all there;
Just listen to the rumble.
There’s only one way to build
And A Thousand Ways to fall down.
Lessons, from mistakes.
From cave, village and town.
History has shown us man
Still A Thousand Ways a clown.
You just left her there;
The bride in her wedding gown.
We tell our children all the rules
With A Thousand Ways we ignore.
Terrible choices
Eons and eons before.
Years from now you will find yourself,
Reliving more than A Thousand Ways.
A million decisions from billions of choices
Each one sings a melody, like a line from a song;
There is only one way to do it right
But A thousand Ways to do it wrong.
When you do all that you can
In A Thousand Ways you restore.
You will be happy when you look back
And see so much left to explore.
