The Roads We Take

The Roads We Take

The roads we take

Mistakes we make

The s**t we take for boredom sake

The paths we chose

The loves we lose

The times that make us

Sing the blues

Think of each day

As though it’s your last

Your future will soon

Be a thing of the past

Don’t let it slip by you

Without living a few dreams

Not without seeing

A few wonderful things

Contentment in life

It’s the key to it all

Keep you’re soul strong

It will never grow old

The bad times will always

Lead to the good

The good times we’ll always

Remember with love

Just think of the future

Learn from the past

Don’t dwell on the bad times

That has already passed

Don’t leave it to late

As life slips by you fast

When you get to the end

Theirs no going back

Wise words that are worth listening to. Nice rhyming and flow. I agree that our choices affect everything. If we make wrong choices, and often we don't realise we have until quite a bit later, we can and do create disharmony. Sometimes it's okay to "just be" :) Like what you did here. Penny

never crazy about cuss words in a poem
I skip them for me it takes away the value of
the poem when we cuss in a poem
that is my option.


But other then that I loved this Stanza's line.

The roads we take Mistakes we make


Take care. Benita

Wonderful message in this poem! I enjoyed the first verse especially very nice flow to it, wrong "there" at the end, well done!

Nice work. Very powerful wording and imagery. I think this is something that we can all relate to at some point in our life.
