Roadways of our lives

Side streets to main streets

Stop lights in the roads

Main roads to bridges 

Bridges to high ways

Highways to off ramps

Left turn right turn or straight ahead!

Only we know where we are going 

In life so many roads to take, 

Picking one leads to another 

Which way will you choose? 

I choose to travel the curved, bumpy road 

For the soft paved road shall be too easy

Something so smooth and dark, hides the surprises 

The sun will guide you through the obstacle 

Those cones that stand in your way, 

To knock them over is to stand bold in life

Dotted lines help us stay on the road 

Only letting us pass and go around a different way

The double yellow telling us its not meant to be gone this way

The roads of life are confusing but with each tire mark we make

Life can be simple and easy or we can make darts in and out of the cones, 

Set up in our way making our own path

A very intriguing way of looking at life's journey, it's curves and lines, and how we can go different ways.........I like the quiet roads,not too many bumps, and some friendly faces on the way.......loved the way you created this.

Hard to find a quiet and lonely road in some places. I agree with you. I was in the Army for 15 years. In my travels. I would take different routes to see what I could see and learn. The big highways and cities all look the same from the highways. I like the ending. A excellent poem.
