The Pot of Gold

 

You came with me on a long arduous journey,

Through many forests and jungles;

The paths confusing and twisted,

Sometimes, I made you miss a turning;

And finally we reached the end,

There was no promised pot of gold.

But then my brethren, it is not the gold;

It was the search itself;

The journey and your comradeship,

The jungles we saw

The forests we conquered

The rivers we forded,

And the links we made.

It would not have happened

If it was not for the pot of gold
