One step forwards, two steps back <br />Is a familiar manner we tread; <br />We seem unsure of which way to go, <br />A Labyrinth of routes in each head. <br />Do I go left, or do I go right, <br />What’s the best choice for me? <br />How do I become untangled <br />And, like a bird be set free? <br /> <br />It all comes down to experience, <br />The true wisdom of many years; <br />Listening to the well - travelled <br />On Life’s Path prevents more tears. <br />We’d do ourselves a favour <br />If we followed their sage advice <br />And take the sensible course <br />Without ever thinking twice.<br /><br />Paul Holmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forwards-and-backwards/
