Crossroad

Their comes a time,
In a persons life.
When you're at a crossroad,
Do I go left or right?
Contemplating restlessly,
On each path.
Confused and scared,
In fear of the aftermath.
Often our decisions,
Can be so difficult.
For every step we take,
Our life reflects, as result.
No matter the circumstances,
Nor the person,
Every day choices are made,
Our lives they better or worsen.
With the options at hand,
We can seem so carefree.
Til we're standing there in shock!
How could this happen to me??
Bad things happen to good people,
All to often it seems.
When life becomes a nightmare,
From out of our worst dreams.
It's not something we prepare for,
Or would even expect.
It's not something we can change,
From here we must accept.
Count our many blessings,
That we are so grateful for.
The little moments in life,
May we no longer ignore.
Learn from our mistakes,
Yet may we always recall,
Those so very dear to us,
Whom we were lucky to have at all.
