Poem
I stood once at the crossroads of life So skeptical and confused to which one is right It took time for me to choose which path to take I was in a great dilemma, so I took a deep breath Time went by so quick… tick, tack, tick, tack- tick I had to hurry because no more time for me to think Hurry! Pushing myself but appallingly, I couldn’t do it It was really difficult to choose which one is the best There I stood again, but looking far from the distance Until a brilliant idea suddenly came into my mind Why don’t I ask other’s opinion and pieces of advice? Then, laid their presumption next to mine My conscience suddenly spoke to me and said, My dear Self, you are you and the only “You” Who’d be the first to decide which is the best for your life Rely first on yourself and do excogitate Write down the pros and cons of things you’re going to take When I heard myself’s voice, I smiled so bright She continuously spoke to me and asked, You can also tell your guardian angel right? Send her the paper where you wrote the road you chose She will hand it over to God in heaven To bless your decision and the desire of your heart for sure So, I walked down straight through that road Sometimes, turning my back once in a while but I need to go on Carrying on both hands was my tool luggage Inside of it were faith, love, fortitude, determination, hope and prayers For I believe, in every chosen road there are always challenges It’s best to just hold on to those tools on my shoulders and hands as I go ahead ‘Til I'll find the bright end of my taken road which are my goals and contentment Nov. 1,2012 Sixth Place Contest: Standing At the Crossroads Contest Judged: 11/9/2012 Sponsor: Gail Angel Doyle
