Artist Info:
How often we must bear the challenges of life;<br />
The endless roller coaster between happiness and sorrow;<br />
The constant ups and downs of daily strife.<br />
And always the question remains .... why?<br />
<br />
Life is not an easy road for most;<br />
It twists and turns with many forks in the road,<br />
Although always, and inevitably, we are given a choice ...<br />
<br />
Do we turn to the right ... or the left?<br />
Do we take the high road ... or the low road?<br />
Do we take the easy path ... or the difficult one?<br />
<br />
Decisions are not easy for those struggling for direction ...<br />
And sometimes the many choices and signs become overwhelming.<br />
<br />
While standing at a crossroads in life,<br />
The urge is to take the most comfortable path;<br />
The road with least resistance ...<br />
The shortest or most traveled route.<br />
<br />
And yet, if we've been down that comfortable road before;<br />
Have gleaned its lessons in life, and learned from our experiences;<br />
<br />
Do we yet again follow the known?<br />
Or does our destiny lie in another direction?<br />
<br />
The fear of the road less traveled is tangible and all too real;<br />
It manifests itself in many ways,<br />
And tends to cloud the issues that might otherwise be clear.<br />
<br />
It is in these times of confusion,<br />
That we must seek peace and solitude;<br />
<br />
Time to contemplate on our life,<br />
Our experiences and our choices past;<br />
Time to look back, and reflect on what we have learned<br />
Without fear or confusion.<br />
<br />
For only each of us knows our own personal thoughts;<br />
Our unique past and personal history;<br />
The experiences that brought us to the crossroads we now face.<br />
<br />
We can always learn a small degree from others experiences,<br />
And yet ... no one person can walk in our shoes,<br />
Others know not, the trials and tribulations faced in private ...<br />
<br />
For each is individual ... unique ... and personal.<br />
<br />
And that is why ... while standing at a crossroads,<br />
Only "we" can formulate the decision for ourselves;<br />
The true direction that lies within;<br />
The choices we must deliberate on with clarity and wisdom.<br />
<br />
For it is only through personal reflection,<br />
That we can now choose our destiny;<br />
... Our next adventure;<br />
... And the future we will embrace. - Avg. rating:
