Life’s Many Roads
Another day, another chapter in life is gone.
I reminisce this morning in abstract thought,
On not only what life has brought;
But what more life has to offer.
What’s up ahead on life’s smooth or maybe rocky road;
What new experiences will I encounter today that I have yet to know?
But this morning, I’m contemplating life on a new dawn,
Remembering very good times that have passed;
With dear family and friends that are now gone.
But the beauty in a brand new day,
Is that we get to shape the new day to a brand-new cast;
To our goals and wishes, hopes and dreams, that we hope to take away.
We must remember that even though life is not always what we dream,
Especially if we’re battling through a hardship, illness, or personal woe,
We have to keep getting up, keep fighting against the current to get upstream;
To see what else God has bestowed;
A beautiful sunset, beautiful kids, the love of your life.
I, for one, want to know, what’s up ahead on life’s many roads.
