The Main Street of Life

Give me a chance; you’ll see who I am
This is no fake; I’m all for real
I know you’ve made a decision,
You’re wondering what to do
But please think long and hard,
Before you follow through

So much can go wrong,
As we follow our separate paths,
But so much more can go right,
As our journeys intertwine.

It’s been only a week or two,
It may be soon, I won’t deny
But with my one chance,
Our journeys will take flight.

These paths we follow, long and winding,
May take many twists and turns,
Most unforeseen,
But they will join, side by side

A small detour had to be made,
Probably for the best
But in time, most detours
Must come to a rest

And when the detour ends,
The main street is always there
To persevere, to take your hand
And lead you to the promised lands

I’m almost done, but I must say
You’re certainly beautiful today
You may be wondering, “How can he know?”
I just do, my dear, you’re beautiful everyday

The detours over; it’s time to make a turn
Down the main street, that leads straight to my heart
You’ve got the roadmap; I’ll be the driver
Let’s go for a journey, and see where life takes us
