THE ROAD I TOOK
I've come to see that life is a journey
A destinationless one
Guided not by compass or map
But by the steps we take as we move.
We often choose the well-worn path
Drawn to where the crowd has gone.
Others dare the lesser roads
Chasing the thrill of the unknown.
Afraid of what I couldn’t see
I chose the road most traveled
Not to follow but to learn
To trust the footprints of experience.
And here I am, still journeying
Walk, run, pause, then onward again.
Sometimes I hear voices from afar…
I suppose I haven't strayed too far.
