The Long Winding Road

They say that Life is a long winding road,
A long twisted trail that we need to decode.

Some times there are forks in the road or the odd crack,
Or the sky just turns completely black.

For the majority of your younger years of Life you walk alone,
Or that one special person walks with you, some come and some go,
Or sometimes you get shot right down to the bone.

Some friends walk beside the road your on,
And then in the blink of an eye there paths are gone.

My path has its ups, downs, lefts, rights,
But then it becomes smooth, and it's bathed in the evening light.

The seasons go by quick and the years begin to fly by,
But sometimes we just need to stop and shout 'Bonsai!'.

Yes, people may come and go,
But from what ever the reason, you will learn and grow.

For a little while I've walked this road, and there's been a few things I've been able to decode,
But there is still a lot more that's in code, along this long and winding road.
