Every day is a cross roads
Which we choose to ignore.
We prefer to walk
The straight line
Don’t look for anything more.
So many roads un-taken
All those chances lost
But we will walk the straight
The narrow and never consider the cost
While others will dream of looking
Some will take the turn
And though they might not get rewarded
They see what their daring earns
But we will walk the straight
The narrow
And never consider the cost.

A lovely write that can be taken two ways depending on perspective. The straight and narrow is generally considered the proper way to get to the desired goal but if misled it can lead one over a cliff. A wonderful write.
Thanks for reading and commenting Soren
You are most welcome
We are not taking another 'shortcut' no matter how enticing the prospect. Great poem, loved it.
