When in doubt

Take the scenic route.

Stop and smell the roses when the world imposes

Have your cake, and taste it too

Don’t wait for anyone’s permission

To listen when this life calls to you

And don’t worry about a parachute

If and when you decide to fly–

Your spirit knows the scenic route

And on it, you can touch the sky
