Life’s journey takes us across many miles
Locations and directions near and far
Sometimes we are halted along the way
Traffic lights and incidents direct pace
Timings and turnings influence routes
At times there can be conflicts in mind
Especially when gut instinct challenges
A conundrum between a yes or a nay
What feels right for this point in time
Testing instances will arrive without fail
Having the wisdom to know good from bad
Are strangers and friends so very different
Once reality springs some hidden surprises
Long held elements of trust can be sideswiped
Pretensions as friends and foes may be aligned
Second chances are mostly precarious actions
Lived experiences know that regrets are indelible
It is advisable to take time and to choose wisely..
