There are many types of crossroads
As through life we try to drive,
The types we find on roads or maps
Or the ones that shape our lives.

When you come across a crossroad
Do you know which way to go?
The choices need not give you pause
There are only four ways you can go.

Straight ahead may just be easy
As you can see the way ahead,
And back the way you came from
Could give you hindsight there instead.

Now the choices may get tougher
Because they are down to only two,
The left or right forks you might take
May be the paths to get you through.

There is one thing that is certain
A decision is needed here,
Standing still with no decision made
Will never get you anywhere.

Now how to make wise choices
Is the question here at stake,
There may not be a perfect answer
For the decisions we must make.

I think we need to take a breath
And trust that still small voice,
I thinks we'll hear an answer
That brings comfort with its' choice.

The direction we choose at crossroads
Is less about the way in which we go,
It's more about the trust of self
And the possibilities there to flow.

So when it comes to crossroads
Take the paths you think you should,
If you did your best to think things through
You'll have done the best you could.
