Life's Long Journey

Life's Long Journey,
is not particularly easy.
Certainly rocky and uneven,
sometimes dark and lonely.
It is a strenuous journey,
one that is hard for us all.

A complicated road to follow,
even for the experienced traveller.
Without a map to guide,
or a torch to illuminate.
The path we take,
is sometimes lost.

Plenty of corners and long routes,
diversions and traffic lights.
Maybe the odd road works or two,
an extra sprinkle of road rage.
And lets have a few penalties,
just enough to keep us on our toes.

Milestones to achieve,
long and hard.
This path of life,
a discovery of dreams.
It may become confusing,
Life's long journey.
