Crossroads!

Carefree I could drive if this was a straight road
But life path is long with challenging crossroads
One right turn led to the other
One wrong move caused a lot of bother
Sometimes I knew the path and took the right turns
At times followed blindly the cars in front
There were also instances of honking trucks behind
When my inadvertent hurl rubbed off others
Sometimes went astray and completely lost my way
Had no maps to guide and wild dogs chased
Closed my eyes and prayed with undying faith
Stranger guided me like a darling angel
But most difficult crossroads were
The ones that didn’t meet again
Where the path once chosen lead to an end
When I had no choice but, to choose one over the other
I couldn’t travel both and couldn’t please all
No matter sometimes won and at times lost it all
I wonder why life has several such crossroads
Why can’t it be a simple straight road?
