Life Is a Highway

The road may be bumpy on the highway of life
 So fasten your seat belt and hang on tight
Watch for those steep curves or you may jackknife
Keep your eyes on the road and your goals in sight
The road will get smoother, the sun will shine bright

 The wrong exit may leave you lost for awhile
 Find your way back as you travel the miles
 There may be some detours and even delays
 But keep on  driving, the journey is worthwhile
Success is your destination, determination the way
