Roads

Have you ever walked down a road

Where you came upon a dead end?

What once seemed so promising

Was brought down by your best friend

Have you ever turned on a road

and suddenly lost control?

When all you know and who you trust

caused everything else to unroll?

How do you know that this place is

where you’re supposed to be?

Life has so many questions

Answers are on short supply

A moment is all we had

It vanished into the sky

Have you ever been down a road

That was smooth then turned into holes

The ride was rough but much was learned

Sometimes that is the way life goes

Have you ever found a new road

Where unexpected gifts were found?

Hope and life opened up your eyes

And true goodness was all around

You know that this is the right place

And how this is supposed to be

A life truly lived despite all the risks

Forgetting what is behind

Because now is all you have

You cannot move forward in rewind
