The Journey

As I begin my journey, there are things that have me baffled Should I take the busy road, or the one less traveled? Because one path is narrow, but the other one is wide One way will lead to sorrow, but the other to joy and pride Will it make your heart rejoice, this pathway that I choose? Will I walk with the smart ones, or drag behind the fools? Will I let life's distractions lure me off of the right course? And when I err, will I be smart enough to feel remorse? So many things ahead of me that I anticipate So many things to do and see, decisions I must make You've held my hand up until now; and letting go, I vow To always make you feel as proud of me as you do now So as I leave childhood behind, I hold my head up high And thank you for preparing me for the journey that is life
