Destiny Road

Accidental Poet

 

Up with the sun

To greet the new day

Anticipating events

That come my way

 

The hands on the clock

Insistently on the move

Like a train on the tracks

I’m in the groove

 

There’s a force driving me

Down Destiny Road

Bearing the weight of life

And it’s a heavy load

 

Some days

There’s a traffic jam

I don’t let it bother to me

If it’s all in God’s plan

 

I just keep on truckin’

Just like a trooper

Cause in the end

It’s a grand prize so super

 

Yesterday is gone

And I’m here today

Living my life

Smiling is the only way

 

I think about

The origins of those smiles

How they stay with me

Mile after mile

 

The road of life

Yes, it has pain and sorrow

But there’s also laughter

On the way to tomorrow

 

Guess you might say

To Heaven I’m ode

Just enjoying the ride

While on Destiny Road

    • Accidental Poet

      Yes orchi, I'm on Destiny Road and yes the No. 7 bus goes by here. But I've seen a sign on the bus, "No swooning or singing allowed". Orchi, something tells me you've been on the No. 7 bus before. ; )

            An excellent poem, AP! So many depressed people in this world, I just wish they had your outlook on life! Great job!

              Thank you Christina. Life's too short to wear a frown everyday. I do have bad days too, but I never let it keep me down for long. Thanks for reading.

                Super write, we each have our own roads to destiny but we will all end up in the same place on life's journey.
