The CrossroadA Poem by BandersnachI stand at a crossroad; one path is broad, ground trodded and bare, while the other is narrow, but overgrown--hardly noticed it there. "Where do these two roads lead?" I thought out loud, when a young man shouted to me through a large crowd: "That path is boring, and difficult to travel" he points to the narrow one, "While this one is popular ; it's always exciting and fun!" As I was about to follow the rest of the pack, one man suddenly grabbed me and pulled me back; "Do not be fooled by their subtle seduction; " though that path has it's pleasures, it leads to Destruction!" I looked at him, almost angry and said: "You can't expect me to take that one instead!" He then smiled, gently taking ahold of both my hands and spoke these words kindly so that I'd better understand: "Indeed, this road will be very difficult to tread, and at times you will wish you took the other instead. However, hear my words and make no mistake, that this road leads to Eternal Life and is the path to take." I have since been traveling on this lonely, narrow road, It is difficult and wearisome, this path that I've chose, but I know that the destination is worth any heart ache. When you arrive at the crossroads, which path will you take?
