When the road is wide


So grateful, when the road ahead 
 Is wide and clear and beautiful to boot: 
Doubly appreciated as I age, 
Knowing the choices that we’re asked to make 
Are not always this clear, 
And roads we thought we were meant to travel 
Can narrow down and/or disappear, 
Grow dark or even dangerous, 
Forcing us to retrace our steps 
Or trapping us in dead-ends til we figure out 
We need to rescue ourselves… 
Such open, welcoming moments as this 
Are a blessing, and we lift our hearts in gratitude.
