Two Roads To Paradise

At a junction
Where left and right
Lead to paradise
There I stall

At a spot
Where going front and back
Seems to be right
There I stall

At a point
Where the river divides
To two equal halves
There I stall

At a crossroads
Where there are no road signs
And no traffic light
There I stall

it is a situation when u are faced with two good things at thesame time and you are not allowed to choose more than 1 and both are of equal importance.

Great write with great rhyming. It is also thought provoking for me. I'd have to ask, why do you think that both lead to paradise? If so, why hesitate which direction to go? Perhaps, in reality, one will lead to paradise, while the other will maybe end up nowhere. Thanks for sharing. Caroline.
