Description
I selected this image that I captured at Lake Waterford park in Pasadena, Maryland, to be the background setting for a poem which I superimposed over the image. The poem is about the "odyssey of life" and the path we take to make it through. The text can be read if the image is shown at full size but not as viewed on the limited display of this website. Here is the poem...
The Path Of Life
The path of life, with all its mystery,
Will challenge our legacy, as we write our own history,
Our desire for progress, nudges us bolder,
With each step forward, and another step older,
We climb the mountains, we swim the lakes,
Whatever the challenges, whatever it takes,
A shorter path, easier and quicker,
May lead us on, slipperier and slicker,
Left or right, right or wrong,
Which will lead where I belong,
So chose your path wisely, don't let it choose you,
When you come to that fork, you'll know what to do,
For a time we may rise, or find ourselves falling,
Still it may lead, to our true calling,
We all make mistakes, with roadblocks at each turn,
It's part of being human, it's something we must learn,
No path is free, from risks high or low,
It's how you keep on track, not how you place or show,
When you see ten troubles, approaching down the path,
Nine will run into the ditch, before you do the math,
If I've confused you as to what to do,
Your path is yours, I have mine too,
Just remember your goal, and follow your dreams,
Things have a way of working out it seems,
Give it your best, and by chance if you stumble,
You're in good company, it makes us all humble,
Even if you don't quite end up where you thought,
Looking back, you may find it was the journey that you sought,
Each possible path, with all it's ups and downs,
Will include your share of both smiles and frowns,
So in conclusion, whichever path you choose,
Each is unique, to the person and their shoes.
