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....
