The Journey To Here

Today I met a new friend, who blessed me with a smile
I couldn't turn and walk away, we had to talk awhile
I found we were a lot alike, with words we'd stopped to share
We talked on many subjects, and he really seemed to care
We laughed at many silly things, that happened in our life
We shared an understanding, when the topic turned to strife
I really couldn't help but think, he truly understood
And sharing, with my new found friend, it made me feel quite good
We had but just a minute, in our busy, hectic day
And both had things, that must be done, yet paused here anyway
Many rushed and passed us by, like busy little drones
Gulping down their hurried drinks, and talking on their phones
We shared a smile about that too, when my friend said to me
"How can you live a happy life, and not enjoy a tree?"
I turned and looked, and sure enough, I hadn't even seen
The many trees, that lined the streets, and one right next to me!
Suddenly, I realized, he'd given me a gift
By pointing out what I had missed, it gave my soul a lift
How many times I'd past this place, and even yet today
And never even noticed trees, I'd passed along the way
I realized my thoughtlessness, the things I took for spite
Like something simple as a tree, that always missed my site
Here among the concrete, and the busy, dirty, street
I found a thing of beauty, and thought it really neat
My friend moved on, but parted with a hand shake and a smile
I noticed I was smiling, and had been all the while
This stranger I had never met, had truly blessed my life
I found I had forgotten of my hardships and my strife
So I share with you this story, hoping it will help you too
To try and find the beauty, in anything you do
For when you pause, and look around, one thing comes quite clear
It's not the destination, but the journey, to right here!

What a fabulous post! Perfectly flowing, easy to read, insightful and heartwarming. Moreover, the concept/thought process/gift embedded within is absolutely something I can align myself with.
Very well done!
Thinking I definitely need to check out more of your work,
