Crossroad
Their comes a time
In a person's life,
When you're at a crossroad
Do I go left or right?
Contemplating restlessly
On each path,
Confused and scared
In fear of the aftermath.
Often our decisions
Can be so difficult,
For every step we take
Our life reflects, as result.
No matter the circumstances
Nor the person,
Everyday choices are made
Our lives they better or worsen.
With the options at hand,
We can seem so care free.
Until we're standing there in shock!!
How could this happen to me??
Bad things happen to good people,
All too often it seems.
When life becomes a nightmare
From out of our worst dreams.
It's not something we prepare for
Or would even expect.
It's not something we can change
From here, we must accept.
Count our many blessings
That we are so grateful for,
The little moments in life
May we no longer ignore.
Learn from our mistakes
Yet, may we always recall,
Those so very dear to us,
Whom we were lucky to have at all.
