A sailor lived by the high seas
A fable he once was told
Far away in the midst of the sea
Lay waiting a treasure of gold.
Set sail he did on his ship
With courage he left the shore
He knew he wanted to get there
Beyond which he knew no more.
He sailed and sailed his ship
Sailed with all his might
And one day so it happened
An island came into his sight.
It was a land of pristine beauty
Of beautiful sunshine and sparkling sand
Such beauty that one would feel
On earth, heaven had come to stand.
But this joy mattered not to the sailor
With disappointment and deject he left
The glitter of gold he sought
And he ended up feeling bereft.
He sailed and sailed afar
Many such lands he did see
When his treasure he didn't find
He left cursing their beauty.
Fierce and enormous, there came a storm
Against which the ship couldn't hold
Broke the ship into pieces
Drowning the sailor bold.
Reached the gate of God
And the sailor put his plea
"Oh Lord, one treasure I sought
Was it not meant for me?"
"Oh brave one", the voice replied
"The treasure that was meant for thee
Came to you many a time
You only should have enjoyed the journey."
