Two Paths
There is a path that leads you home
With direction that is clear
Right beside it lies another path
And it's so very near
These two upon first glance
Appear to be the same
And as you ponder which to choose
They both call out your name
As you gaze upon the view
And determine which to take
Oft' times the straight and narrow
You quickly will forsake
Now the beauty of the second path
It shines with such a light
Beaming down on all you want
'Til you forget what's right
With great haste you find yourself
Strolling right along
Heading down the second path
That doesn't lead you home
The second path I speak of
That seems so brightly lit
It soon turns into darkness
And your way you will forget
So if you find yourself there walking
In all darkness and in fear
Remember, there's still the first path
And it lies so very near

Wonderful poem with great wisdom and encouragement to choose wisely. Thanks!
This is so beautifully written and very encouraging.. it's comforting..
I always loved Robert Frost.. Two Roads diverged.. Now I have this poem to remember to..Thank you Neva!
We choose , and often we don't realize , once chosen we can't go back--
Beautifully written
Wonderful ! We see what we like to see,our desires hide the view.. but if we are aware, we see what is there really. Sometimes it could be a one-way, a path of no return...It could be a tragedy...What a lovely poem! Ty for the post!!
"So if you find yourself there walking
In all darkness and in fear
Remember, there's still the first path

A wonderful piece Neva...The right path is there for us to follow should we choose to travel it...M
I love the last stanza in particular on this lovely poem.
