Life’s Journey

The road of life is a journey,
The distance is much the same;
It isn’t a race for the fastest pace
But how we play the game.

Some choose the road less traveled,
Others take the one most trod.
But who’s to say the better way
If we follow the path of God.

The valleys are dark and fearsome,
The summits have views sublime;
All it takes to reach the top
Is the faith to make the climb.

Let the past be lessons learned,
Keep the moral course in sight,
And know that when at journey’s end
The road we chose was right.
