Life

Life is something everyone struggles to define

Such a blessing we all take for granted everyday

It's a journey we are all put on

Forced to trek for what seems eternity

As we enter this world, each his own miracle in disguise

We don't know where this journey will take us

The paths and curved ways are something we must take with caution

Being careful not to speed down the road

In fear we might miss something along the way

Some roads are a straight shot

Beautiful scenery along the way as we enjoy the happiness and joy it can bring us

Some roads are tough to pass

With rough bumps and rocky terrain that leave us to wonder if we'll make it to see the end

As we grow older, we appreciate these rough roads as our trials and tribulations

Making us stronger with each mile of travel

We appreciate the smooth, paved paths that bring us joy even more

And in the end, we die peacefully

Knowing this:

While life is sometimes rocky and rough with all of its ups and downs

The beautiful scenery and greater times of joy make taking the slower pace worth everything we endure

In this ever-so-long journey

A journey we call life
