Journeys Begin

Journeys begin with the germ of a notion;
Fry hatched today end by crossing the ocean.

Sometimes our efforts may start out uncertain,
Winning applause by the fall of the curtain.

A treasure not marked by an obvious sign
May lie in the cellar--a prize vintage wine.

Journeys begun in the days of our youth
May take a whole lifetime to germinate truth.
