The Winding Road

One never knows where a winding 
road will lead
A winding road can lead you 
up a mountain pass
Or a hill road winding pass
A winding road can lead to
a stream or river bank
Or lead you on a dirt road 
that leads to a farmer's field
A winding road can lead you
to a hidden beach
A winding road can lead you 
on a journey to anywhere

Your poem, Darlene, reminds me of Robert Frost's poem, "The Road Not Taken." Our paths in life can lurch in a myriad of ways as you so well convey. Good health to you dear lady. Sincerest regards, Brian

Excellent! The fun in the not knowing -- the surprise around the bend. How boring if we were born knowing everything. I wonder how God manages...? Maybe through our experiences....
