The Neverending Road
Sometimes–
We go about our lives
Thinking–
Life is one huge open road
We are born
We go to school
We find a job
We get married
We have kids
Then our children
Will have their own
And those kids
Will go to school
Find a job
And get married
And the cycle repeats
And it goes on and on
It’s a routine that generations
Before us have done
And it’s a routine that
Future generations will follow
Like a path that never ends
But what if
That path does end
And branch out
Into other paths
Once in a while
That long straight road
Could stretch out
Into two distinct ones–
Right or left–
And we are faced with
A gut-wrenching decision
The road for some
Is not clear cut
And it can be troublesome
In ways more than one
But for others
It is an adventure
The thrill of the unknown
Can be an inspiration
The thrill of the unexpected
Exhilarating and filled with visions
