Journey Of Life

Sometimes we tend to wander aimlessly,

Stuttering without a goal,

Meandering along the path hopelessly,

Searching for our role.

The paths are many, separate, distinct;

We wonder which one should we choose,

Sometimes we simply trust our instinct,

Not caring what we might lose.

We stand, sometimes, on the crossroads of life,

Waiting for one sure sign,

We waddle, somehow, through the gaps in strife,

For that's the way life is designed.

For life is made up of all the decisions we take,

Some right; some horribly wrong,

We must tread ahead, learn from our mistakes,

Only from experience do we become strong.

In one life we face choices aplenty,

For some we use our heart & others, our mind,

All will be for the good- there is no guarantee,

Only over the course of time shall we find.

Sometimes we find ourselves along a road,

But we desire another one instead,

And naught is there to share our load,

Only with firm belief can we move ahead.

Guidance & advice we find a lot,

To show us all the possible ways,

But in the end, we decide where to trot,

The choice is ours to make.

Sometimes we dare to choose unknown paths,

Knowing not what lies ahead,

We trudge along, to face later, the aftermath,

We choose to be reckless instead.

For sometimes we all face the choice

Between what is easy and right,

By listening to our heart and staying poised,

The way forward is illuminated by a ray of light.

We are simply travelers in this journey of life,

Our thoughts merely direct the way,

Our virtues serve as fodder for our thoughts,

And will prevent us from going astray.

Life is simply an unpredictable journey,

We cannot forecast the start or the end,

The time taken in the journey is for us to reach our destiny,

From the moment we are born till our end.
