Moments, choices, paths
taken
And not taken
For a purpose, a reason;
In their own season
Each one different,
Each one unique.
To learn, to grow
Do we know
When we choose
What we have to lose;
Repeating themes
Or so it seems
Throughout our day
Come what may.
Or is it better to have
charted and mapped
As some of us are apt
To see the end;
So as not to pretend
For our course is ours to
see
Before we reach eternity.
