For the road to Xianaria
is both a wondrous and painful journey ~
From the moment we are born,
we are destined to take our first steps
down this path...
For some,
the journey comes easy,
as they are guided from early childhood
by mentors who know the way.
For others...
Some wander aimlessly,
seeking alternate paths.
For them,
the path is not easy ~
their journey is marked by the ruins
of personal failures and pains -
some brought upon by personal life choices,
and some brought on by others.
Regardless of life's many directions,
it matters not what we go through ~
for all is worth the cost if we find ourselves
at the gates of this great and wonderful place.
