The Many Roads of Life
The Many Roads of Life
Life has its up and down
Or it turns you around
You don’t know what’s beyond
Always running on an errand
This day you maybe climbing uphill
That is against your free will
The next day you’re going downward
You want to stop but it’s hard
You may be stuck in traffic
Yet you think you’re slick
Another day the road is smooth
You can stop by an inn, and have broth
The road maybe bumpy
And you maybe jumpy
This circuitous road is dusty
Hanging on a cliff makes you edgy
But always remember my friend
The road is never a fiend
It teaches lessons for us to bear
Doesn’t matter if you shed a tear
All those lessons are taught
For us to face life not for fraught
But to take the trial and be tested
And go beyond what’s expected...

Life is such an incredible journey and I believe it is a real learning curve. We may not realise when we tread rocky paths but everything happens for a reason.

Hello Eddy, great to hear from you...how was the Holidays...yeah, aren't we be thankful for the wonderful blessings we receive? and I do very much especially for the wonderful people I meet along the way...
Your inspiring poem made me think of an Irish Blessing.
"May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back."
Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem.
Thank you so much for sharing this gem my dear friend.

thanks so much bf for taking the time to visit my hub...yes, as always we'll go back to His feet and ask for His guidance for we can't see beyond without His assistance...
Beautiful! Many roads to travel. I love John Denver. I miss him...Thank you. I loved this poem...
Life is one long lesson, we never stop learning, no matter which road we take. And if the roads are steep or rough and full of pot holes then it just makes us stronger.
I wish you had read the comments on my hub Raciniwa, you would have seen that I am staying. Thank you for being such a good friend
Have a wonderful Christmas
Oh my God!
I met my match on this one dear Raci!! The roads of live..that will show us that sight..either we follow or back off, to take the next step, after knowing our lives depend on moving on...until we get our call!
Lord
Well said, bf!
We are going through different roads in life but no matter how fast or how slow we are in our trip, we always end up to His feet. Kudos to this!
