Another Crossroads

Standing at another crossroads On this journey we call life Choices that could lead to happiness Choices that could lead to strife Thinking about my options And which way that I might go North or south or east or west To a destination I don’t know One path might be good for me But not so much for ones I love One path might lead to pleasures Forbidden from up above One path might lead to riches One path might leave me broke I seriously consider who might get hurt These choices are not a joke But I don’t want to take too long Contemplating which path that I might take Because I’ve found that just standing still Is, by far, the bigger mistake By Joe Flach; written and posted on 10/30/12 for the "Standing at a Crossroads" contest.
