Before me lies a path
Stretching for miles
Leading to parts unknown
Should I take it?
Should I wander from its presumed safety?
Robert Frost said he took the path least traveled,
Shall I do the same?
A river runs peacefully beside me
Should I swim across?
Take a chance on what may lurk just below its surface?
The mountains’ icy peaks look inviting
Shall I take my chances there?
I zip my jacket
Adjust my pack
And continue down the path
God laid out for me
