Choose Your Path

Sometimes our path
winds and winds,
leading us through
some pretty
rocky terrain.
We may miss
the beautiful views
along the way
while trying to stay on it.
We want to get where
we're going in life
as soon as possible--
to our delicious goals!
A straight shot may
prove to be slippery, 
on the mountain.
Though intoxicated
with eager anticipation,
we may choose to take
a more relaxed,
scenic, winding route
smelling the flowers
in such a heavenly
scented decor--
God's gift for our vision.
So set out.
Accept there is a path.
You see you how
others have gone.
You may also want
to get off the beaten path
and create your own way,
as you traverse the
enchanted mountainside.
Your choice.
There's a purpose for
having this power
to choose over most, 
if not all,
areas of your life trip--
your happiness
may depend
greatly upon it.
So, you are...
free to choose.
