“Life's Path by Maisie Aletha Smikle
Life is a path we must travel
Life is a book we must read
Your path is yours
My path is mine
Imaginary paths they are
Carved for all
Some paths are long
Some paths are short
Along our paths we must go
To reach the end we must
Paths may be rocky
Paths may be paved
Paths may have detours
Paths may have cul-de-sacs
Turn around at the cul-de-sacs
Re-route at the detours
For on your path you must return
Don't hurry to reach the end
Don't stop at the path's bend
That is not where it ends
Along the path may be thieves
Lurking waiting to steal
What you have gathered and accumulated
And saved along life's journey
Along life's path may be starving vultures
Hoping for misfortunes
Hovering for carcasses
Hawking distractions hoping for destruction
Along life’s path may be good Samaritans
Wishing and hoping for the very best
To succeed at the Creator's tests
And hoping always you’d be at your utmost best
Along life’s path there is One
Who wants to accompany you
Take Him with you
Til your journey ends”
