Sometimes I wonder if I'm where I'm supposed to be,
or if I'm who I'm supposed to be...
I wonder what this life has in store for me.

Sometimes I feel sure of what I want and where I'm to go,
Others I feel lost and try not to let it show.

I live my life from day to day,
and love everything in every single way.

But sometimes at night I lay and stare,
and hope for answers through answered prayers.

Do I go left or should I choose right,
the roads are as dark as a moonless night.

I hesitate not because I am scared,
and not even because I am unprepared.

I sit an ponder which road to choose,
simply because I don't want to loose.

To make the wrong choice would be hardest to bare,
or is that God's intensions...a double dare.

A dare to take the road less traveled,
and risk the road chosen to become unraveled.

Although it may seem like the road is too slick,
doesn't us taking it make it the right road to pick?

So then we must wonder is there a right and wrong path,
or simply 2 different ways for us to do the math.

However we add it, it equals the same,
but the method used to get there is what makes the game.

So although I feel lost from time to time,
I take great comfort in the fact that the choice is all mine.

I can choose to go left, or I can choose to go right,
either way in the end there's a golden light.

So although we may wonder which path to choose,
we must remember in life we have nothing to loose.

Whichever choice we make, A or B, the one we choose is meant to be.

So instead of trying to force life to fit, just let life happen and enjoy it.

It's going to work at its own pace, life is a journey not a race.

So sit back and enjoy this precious gift,
and when the gears need changed don't hesitate to shift!

That's lovely Karrie. I'm a little over the hill and in hindsight, for me, there was not wrong choice, unless it was the choice to make no choice at all.

My choices in life have led me through good and bad times, through days filled with joy and some filled with sorrow, but they are all a part of where I am on my journey today, and I wouldn't go back and change any choice I ever made.

Thanks for reminding me of this, it's a lovely poem and your life will be blessed no matter what choices you make, that's one of the secrets of life, hidden blessings.

Thanks Karrie...
I thought the next two years of my life were mapped out with my being a Mom of my 18 year old living at home and going to community college and being the wife of a hard working husband. Then suddenly...my son went wacko on drugs...decided to move out...quit school and his job and I have not heard from him in 11 days.

So I am praying to the Goddess, (my Higher Power,) for direction...but mostly I get that I need to take it easy, nurture myself, heal...go to meetings...take it easy. There is no right or left. There is nothing now.

I have been out of work for 8 weeks bc I got injured on the job and can't use my left shoulder. So I read a lot. I'm reading large print mysteries about these nuns in New Mexico...totally Catholic...but my H.P. Is open to all religions. I feel like I should be writing a book or dong something grand with my life...but in truth...sometimes I get so down I do't want to go on. Then I tune into spirit and she telss me to ...take a walk, it's a beautiful day. So for now no direction...


I loved your poem. Keep writing!
