Pathways

Pathways, so many we can take
Some we choose, put our life at stake
The importance of what is sought
Can go against what we were taught
There is a way through what is low
Tunnels that bring us dark below
To keep on going to the light
That waits at the end, out of sight
Knowing it is there is the key
To create our own destiny
Knowing it is there is the key

*8 syllables each line

The repeated lines are so very true. That is the key to following the pathway no matter how dark it gets. Nicely done Heidi.

Nice, truthful, too. I like how the last line is a repeat of two above: apt emphasis. Thanks, Dave
