The Known Path

We know exactly where this path will lead, Every twist and turn we know by heart, But still we choose to proceed, And willingly accept our painful part. And there will be pain along our way, Of that you can be more than sure, But our hearts’ desires forever betray, The safeties of pathways more secure. While the safeties of the easy road, Offer certainties you can count upon, We take the path with troubles bestowed, As its adventure which drives us on. The adventurous path has both lows and highs, As well as storms, we’ll see fine weather, And despite the hurts that we know will arise, It’s worth all the pain if we face it together.
