Life Is a Journey; Tread It Wisely

Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 7

Life Is a Journey; Tread It Wisely

I see a path ahead,

A winding one at that,

A path that I must tread,

Each step will be my own,

Until the day I’m dead.

****

A journey tried and true,

I will meet others on the way,

Knowledge, I will try to pursue,

Kindness and tenderness, I hope to show,

Maybe love with who knows who.

****

And as long as I can hold my head,

When my journey comes to an end,

No regrets about the things I said,

Even fewer about what I’ve done,

My journey will have been true.

****

Till next time,

Calvin
