The Road I Take

The Road I Take Many roads there lie ahead I wonder which to take I glance down each and wonder What difference it would make? The signs I see upon the post Are there for me to read But don’t answer all my questions Or satisfy my need. I’m looking for a clue here And really not quite sure What happens if I go there Will I be secure? I know not what will happen If I take road one or two I stand here somewhat puzzled And know not what to do. The first looks kind of rugged A challenge there for sure And if I were to try it Don’t know if I’ll endure. The second has a hill so steep Don’t know if I could climb And if I even tried It would take some time. Another has a forest Right there along its’ side I fear that man or animal Could choose that place to hide. As I stand here somewhat puzzled With these many roads ahead Wondering which to travel Where to start my tread. I see the sun shine through the clouds And suddenly I know It’s how I travel on that road And not on which I go.

Hello Sue so nice to meet you welcome to Soup, though the topic would be ok for my contest the form which is rhyme, specifically quatrain, can not be used for this challenge. You have used end rhyme, take/make//read/need//sure/secure. Please do try another using one of the unrhymed forms suggested and save this very good verse for another time. Light & Love
