There are many roads we travel,
some are rough and some smooth.
Some a steep climb and some decline,
some are curvy, some straight, some blind.
But of all the roads we travel,
the ones we travel most,
are the ones that we may regret,
those easy ones we coast.
It is easy to spot a bad road,
but it's also easy not to heed,
just ride along with friends,
their friendship most in need.
Or follow in the family footsteps,
down timeworn family path,
making sure that your prodigy,
makes that tradition last.
The roads we take determine,
who we ultimately become.
Every road adds to our experience,
creating wisdom, every one.
We all take the wrong roads,
by mistake, every once in a while.
It is knowing when to turn around,
that determines our ultimate style.
So, when we travel the roads no more,
and look back on where we have gone.
We should not think only of regrets,
but the great roads that we traveled on.
