Jagged
It is quite jagged, this long road we take
throughout our lives each day- and as we age,
the varied curves and turns, or ruts oft break
that straight, uncluttered path- create a stage
for changes and adjustments to engage.
Our jagged road may offer happy days;
conversely, those of stress or sadness too.
As we progress to what's beyond each phase-
and so adjust our steps- we'll make it through-
along our treasured lifetime avenue.
