The Road of Life ...

We want the road of life to be straight ...
with wide shoulders and clear vistas ...
We want the road of life to be clear,
unobstructed by obstacles, hills or set backs.
We want to be able to race from place to place,
without hinderance, without pain, without stopping ...
We want a broad, clear road that runs straight and true ...
But life's road is seldom like that:
We travel a road with curves and twists,
with hills and valleys,
with blind curves and sudden changes in directions.
Just when we think we can put the pedal to the floor,
the road changes and we have to stomp on the brakes.
We have to stop, slow down and sometimes we even crash ...
The road of life is never broad and clear and straight ...
The road of our life is a winding road that reminds us
that sometimes we need to just focus on the journey itself ...
