Two Roads Poem by Gregory Huyette

Two roads life takes;
Happiness or heartbreaks.
Neither easy, but one less strain;
The other offers only pain.

Why many choose the hard way
With its high price to pay.
Is beyond wildest dreams.
But so many times it seems
Attractions of the hard way
Are disguised as best today.
No thought of the morrow
With its impending sorrow
For those who blithely say,
'It's best for me today.'

Tomorrow's today will survive
If tomorrow can be kept alive.
Knowing what's best now
Must be viewed by how
It affects your plan
Of what you want and how you can.
