Corners

Along the road I wandered 
Without knowing what would be
As I turned the corner
There was something I could see

I saw a glimpse of something
A memory from my past
Suddenly my eyes were open
My mouth was set aghast

For when I turned the corner
I realised it was strife
You never know what's round there
On the bendy road of life

Now I steer quite freely
Through every twist and peak
Whatever things may come my way
Could change in just one week

A very nice Quatrain, Ruth. Love that line, "on the bendy road of life."
