Would like to hear your comments and thoughts about this simple little poem

The Way

I've lost my way
A time or two...
On that road to Santiago
Where best is not best
And worst is not worst
Oh shelled peregrino will carry me

I've found my way
A time or two...
By looking into your eyes
Where best is not best
And worst is not worst
Still you comfort me
Like that journey

Any distance is distant
The heart flame can fade
As the minutes twist into years
Where best is not best
And worst is not worst
And we each find our own
"Santiago"

I will wait for you love
With compostela in hand
On that way to Santiago
Where best is not best
But worst is not worst
That the promise of love
will endure

Camino de Santiago means many things to many people...religious, spiritual, life's trials, tribulations, adventures and loves. While it means so many things to so many people, still the Camino is a special place for all how are fortunate to experience it. Yes, I wrote the poem. Thanks for the comments.
