Everything Happens For A Reason

entry picture

Trundling along life’s main highway
on the busy drive to nowhere 
Confronting the bumps in the road 
proceeding with caution and care

Unperturbed by the route chosen
happily muddling on through
Expecting to stay on this path 
not to change course out of the blue 

One foot in front of the other 
unsure of the destination
Taking one small step at a time 
unswerved without deviation 

We thought our way was mapped out
heading forward, not left or right
Until we reached a roundabout 
now that pathway is out of sight 

Not knowing which junction to take
we keep going round and around 
Search the corners of our minds
but no direction we have found 

There are decisions to be made
once made there is no going back
I hope the road we choose to take
will put our lives back on track 

Everything happens for a reason
what will be, will always be  
The journey we choose to take 
will determine our destiny

Thank you both Stephens for the comments and likes.
Also thanks to Holden and Nigel.

I am getting dizzy already, need to get off the roundabout soon?

I always try to take the easiest path, Julie, but sometimes there's a big tree or boulder in the way that knocks me clean off course! ?

I like this, Julie. There is a really good narrative and conclusion. An excellent read.
