  • 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.
