The Paths

The Paths
by Franklin Price
1/30/2016

Some paths you follow paved and  wide
Where you may move with ease
To deviate from left to right
Much doing as you please

Negotiating sweeping curves 
Can look around the bend
No trouble there that you can see
Not coming to an end

Then comes unpaved and narrow
Not many choices there
Switchbacks are imbedded
Proceed on the way with care 

Cliffs  are there imposing
Many dangers for a fall
Cling closely to the inside
Or don't go there at all 

You may  go with someone
Or you may go alone
As the leader or the follower
There are skills that you must hone

And as you travel on life's path
Decide yourself where you should trod
Make intelligent decisions
While you place your faith in God
