How difficult does your road have to be
Is it filled with potholes
Or as smooth as the sea
Is it scattered with pebbles
And filled with cracks
Are there mountains or molehills
Or well-worn down tracks
Is it uphill or down
Which way do you go
Do you have a destination
Are you stuck in the snow
Is your path blocked by a rock slide
Or fallen down tree
What gets in your way
When you’re trying to see
Do you look for specs
In another one’s eye
When the log in your own
Could cause you to die
Take care on your travels
For they lead to the past
Find the smooth road ahead
Because it all goes too fast
Unfortunately, the road most of us travel is affected by so many other influences. I know mine is.
If I want peace and quiet, I fear I must move to a deserted island…
Lovely poem though, highlighting how lovely life can be, if you’re lucky…

How we see things is all in the eye of the beholder. Two people see the same road yet go different ways. Optimism has always been the road for me. Very inspirational poem! Thank you for sharing it.
