Notes About The Poem

You are responsible for your decisions whether you like it or not

 

As You Travel

As You Travel
By Franklin Price

As you travel down life's roads 
And if are blessed with health and mind
Do not  travel haplessly,
Make the best of what you find

The choice is yours of roads to take
To plan the trip or travel blind
To set the course or come what may
The choice is yours, I think you'll find

Whether the road is up or down
Curved or straight, smooth or rough
To carry on or turn around
Don't let life's roads become too tough

Detours there, and bypass roads
Red lights,green lights, cautions too
Accidents, your fault or not
How to contend, what do you do?

Don't blame another for your plight
If they sent you down that way
You went there of your own accord
You did not have to go or stay

When all your roads are at an end
And all your travels said and done
Don't  look back with sad regret
You took the roads, you were the one
