One Lane

When all the lanes merge into one And brake lights flicker on, You have no choice but sticking to The road that you're upon. The same applies to life; we age And walk the paths we've chosen, The other options out of reach While we waste time supposin'... How strange our journey might have been If other roads had beckoned, While opportunities still there Evaporate each second. So most of us continue on And hope the traffic lightens For turning onto routes unknown Once thrilled, but now it frightens.

Some people seem quite content, some people do not. The choices get them all tied up into a great big knot. Then when it's time to have some fun, they don't know what to do. Because the person that they are ain't the person that they got.

Well done Ilene....most prefer the straight and narrow....but the road less traveled,although scary, might be more rewarding... Hugs Tim
