Navigating Through Life's Highway

I’ll drive until the end of the road I don’t wanna know who built the bridges? Or why there are potholes. Why the road winds and bends so often? Why do I get all the stop signs, the red lights, the detours and the railroad crossings. Why milestones appear at every turn? Who is in my lane ahead of me or behind, I must just stay the course and stray not. Out of gas, I pulled over on the side and get out, The sun is setting and there’s a chill in the air— Why there’s always a fall and never a summer? With my chin to the chest and arms wrapped around me, I get back on the road. I don’t wanna know Why it’s a moonless night? Why the stars do not shine? I just have to push on— Walk I must and walk I will until the road ends; I just wanna know... Will I get back home soon? ~01/19/23 ~Contest: Pick-A-Title Vol. 34 ~Title: (3) Navigating through life's highway ~Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
