The Road Blessed Travelled... Poem by Denis Martindale

Two choices only, nothing more,
Except the path I walked before,
That's why, of course, I wasn't sure,
So which road should I choose?

Two choices only, left and right,
Then veering off, clear out of sight,
To who knows where? That was my plight,
So which road should I choose?

Two choices only, up and down,
No wonder that I wore a frown,
If choosing wrong, I'd play the clown,
So which road should I choose?

At first, to throw a coin made sense,
Perhaps like for my other friends,
If heads or tails... it all depends,
So which one should I choose?

Should I choose heads? Should I choose tails?
If in good luck, then happy trails,
But if not, then, I guess that fails...
So which one should I choose?

Or should I pray for God's advice?
A simple answer proving nice,
But even then, I might think twice...
So which one should I choose?

Then, all at once, it came to me,
I chose to live life fancy-free,
As if I claimed my liberty,
To make no choice to choose...

I simply walked right on ahead,
As if that day, I made my bed,
Without a single thought or dread,
Regardless... joys or blues...

Just trusted God for either road,
To oversee life's Highway Code...
God made the difference, as life showed...
So why choose to refuse! ?
