The Ways Through Life

There are many journeys to take
Some are straight forward and uncompromising
Some cast in deep shade
There are promising byways which imply great pleasure
Others are misleading and false
There are dead ends
False starts
Some routes are pocked with potholes
Or beset with mud and ruts
There are pathways which are impossibly steep
Those which twist and turn blindly
some are shortcuts
Detours
Lay-bys
Cul-de-sacs and u-turns
There are toll roads which may cost you dearly
Blind Alleys
Hidden dips
but whichever route you choose
Be it direct or a detour
Fast or slow
Uphill or down
Be assured life will ultimately lead
To exactly where you should be
The only thing to do
Is choose the route...
