Your Unique Path

Two paths diverged into the woods,
some choose the easier path.
I followed my heart and chose to go straight.
It was a treacherous path and made me the best I could be.

I’m glad I chose the harder way,
It was the right choice for me.
I hope that you will chose as well,
Blazing a trail only you can travail.

Unseeking Seeker Date: 7/30/2025 9:57:00 PM Wise words Bill. Not all follow the heart, however and hence suffering.

I think we all experience suffering at some time in our life ... probably for learning purposes or just our poor choices. Have a blissful week. Bill

Rowena Velasco Date: 7/30/2025 4:39:00 AM Nice poem! I like the message about choosing the harder path to grow and become your best self. It feels encouraging and personal, like a little pep talk to keep going even when things get tough. Simple but meaningful.

Best, Anne Login to Reply Bill Baker Date: 7/30/2025 8:42:00 PM Could have used travel instead of travail, but both rhymed anyway. Thanks for the visit, Anne. Your comments are always kind.
