if only life was...

if only life was a straight path.

with no question which direction to go

which footprints to leave

if only life was a gravel road.

easy, familiar, comfortable

no fears, no confusing signs or traffic

life is more like a winding river.

one that turns unexpectedly

speeds up and slows down

(usually when you don't want it to)

one that makes you question the destination

or how to get there.

but that's the challenge of life

to have balance

to find your way

your interests

yourself
