The Road Not Taken

As we travel along life’s highway A wealth of choices we’re compelled to make As we’re faced with fate’s many crossroads And we have to determine, which road to take Roads that determine who we meet and love What we do, and who we are Roads where the journey’s a short one Roads that take you far Quite often, our choice is the right one And the road leads to where we’re meant to be But now and then it can be a dead end And we need life’s breakdown recovery To take us back to where we faltered To journey down the road we’d forsaken But who knows what the toll can be For delay on ‘The Road Not Taken.’

Great writing. These words, I'm sure speak to many. As we all are faced daily with choices, to choose from, not knowing the out come of them, untill time shows us the results. Thanks for sharing.
