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

We should always keep our future in mind, but never think too far ahead and shouldn't put it off until the last minute. We will figure out what we want in life when we are ready. School has always seemed to rush it and make it seem like we have to decide right now what we want to do for the rest of our lives. We have plenty of years left to live and we shouldn't be forced to grow up so fast. We can be anything we want if we put out minds to it and put in enough effort and dedication.

Thankyou very much for your review, Life is to short and we should apriciate every day. People get stuck in ruts and routines that make them unhappy, they forget how amazing life is and the adverture of it all
