A Two Way Street

Life today is much like a two way street
So I try to help out all the people I meet
Things that have gone away may just come back today
You never can know what might be coming your way.

As you travel down the road obstacles come the other way
What you say and do come back as the fabric begins to fray 
You need to believe and perhaps just pray
It comes back full circle traveling the other way.

Before you navigate you need to consider the source
The intentions you send seem to set the course.
The love that you give shall come back to you
You must use discretion in what you say and do.

What you put out there shall find its way back
Also what comes back is based on how you react.
Things come and go like the flow of the tides
When you give it some thought it’s a pretty smooth ride.

I guess for every action there is something in return
When cherish what you have you receive what you yearn
What goes down one way may soon make it back
I love what I have yet yearn what I lack.
