Life's Highway
Life’s Highway
As we travel down Life’s weary road
So many paths to choose
Depending on the road we take
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose
Often there will be a crossroads
Where decisions are harder still
The road you choose at this time
May test your courage and will
Obstacles put in your path
On roads that seem impossibly steep
We have to hold onto our faith
Take a risk, close our eyes, and leap
The dreams we hold in the palm of our hands
We don’t really know how they’ll end
But keep on striving, pushing forward
Until the roads very last bend
Travellers along the way, will share the road with you
Some, for only part of the way
Others will be with you forever,
And on the road with you, they’ll stay
Take time to sit and rest a while
Reflect on what may, lay ahead
Replenish your strength, take time to relax
This will stand you in good stead
The road may be a long one,
Who knows what lies in store?
You shall win the race, achieve your dreams,
Of that, I am quite sure
Friends will be there to lift you,
To carry you should you fall?
To pick you up, put you back on your feet
Help you to remain standing tall
Until at last at your journeys end,
You enjoy a long earned rest
Knowing that during this long tiring road
You always tried your best!

About this poem:
Often I think about the road I have travelled, decisions made, sometimes the right road, sometimes not but I do know that whatever I do "I always try best"

I wrote this quite some time back, but sent it to a friend, hopefully as an inspiration on the struggles that she is going through currently and put it on here to share with others
and the journey we take. We mostly do try our
best and certainly it is bumpy at times. TY
