Learning From Lifes Paths

Different paths our lives will take
Some are good--some a mistake
But we grow and always learn
With every twist and every turn
We get taught whats right or wrong
Allowing us to be so strong
Sometimes we fall on our butts
Other times we need to shut
Doors leading to a decision
That will cause a bad collision
On the road that leads ahead
Filled with joy and sometimes dread
With each step and choice we make
Our hearts and minds will always take
A more profound step forward
Allowing us a new chance toward
Respect, happiness and love
As we had to push and shove
Past the bad and into good
Living a life that we should
Be so  proud that we created
Feeling so glad and elated
Never giving up we fought
For this joyfulness we sought
