If I was better at following directions
I would not have lost my way so often
But had I not lost my way
I would have missed out on some of the most amazing things
On the way I have found some hidden jems
And discovered little known retreats
I have stumbled across places known only to locals
Who have welcomed me in with open arms
Although not every road leads to enlightenment of course
I have been up some dead end streets as well
But I have always reached my destination
And the experience has always enhanced the journey
And so it is with life
Sometimes an unexpected turn can lead to new happiness
It may only take you up a bumpy path
But even that could be a welcome change
One thing is for sure
You will never find anything new travelling the same old road
So turn off the sat nav every now and then
You never know what you might find
