Notes About The Poem

I woke up this morning early with the start of this poem running through my head. Had to get it down before it went away. Hope you can relate.

 

As You Travel

As You Travel
By Franklin Price

As you travel through this life
Do you hear a little voice
Each time you reach  a fork
In the road  and have a choice?

Is there a  little feeling
In your gut that makes it tight
Telling you one way is wrong
And the other one is right?

Best to listen to that voice
And the tightness that you feel
Experience is showing you
That the choice is yours and real

No one can make it for you
Though they may show the way
In the end the choice is yours to make
As you travel day to day

The voice and feeling always there
To Show the path and give the nod
If all is right when the choice is made
Could be the hand of God

If a second voice interrupts the choice
And you know that voice it is wrong
Could be the devil tempting you
To a place you don't belong

In the end it's binary
The choices only two
The voices there to tempt 
The choices up to you
