The Path of Life
The path of life takes many a twist and turn
Some rivers crossed some bridges burn
Choices made some with regret
People have past we will not forget
Throughout your childhood you live without fear
Playing games, falling over and shedding a tear
As you look back through rose tinted glasses
Remembering friends in all of your classes
In your teens you meet your fist love
Putting them on a pedestal with no-one above
Finish school and get your first job
Monday morning again you inaudibly sob
The first house you buy is like a noose round your neck
You mortgage so high but hey what the heck
The girlfriend moves in, soon to be your wife
A short engagement now married for life
Not long after and two become three
Happily married, the perfect family
Times passes fast and your child’s in school
Where’s the time gone? Life can be cruel
You grow old gracefully now time to retire
Weekends away by a cosy log fire
Your child now begins to follow a similar path
Guiding them along, do your best not to a laugh
As you sit here rocking on your favourite chair
Looking up to the sky you painfully stare
The cocktail of drugs help the pain to cease
Finally now you can rest in peace
