Ponderance On Life
As I thought about life today
I pondered on my past
The roads been full of twists and turns
Yet travels by so fast
Did I follow every dream. I sought
Long enough to know
Some exits that I should have taken
I've passed some time ago
Should I follow where my heart leads me
And what I seek to find
Or settle for the here and now
To soon regret in time
Would a second chance reveal the way
It should have turned out first
Did I miss the signs that I passed by
Their reflection now a curse
Faster with each passing day
Lifes clock goes round and round
As age goes up each passing hour
My miles keep counting down
Do I hit the brakes to slow me down
Get off and look around
I thank the Lord for my journey here
Through sometimes puddled ground
Can I stop to smell the coffee
Before it spills on my lifes lap
And realize all roads lead to love
Ourselves the only trap
So when in time I'm out of gas
My journey near its end
Let the mirror show, what I still know
I'd do it all again
