If I could put my missteps behind me, <br />To erase the many obstacles... <br />I found to eliminate as I chased my dreams, <br />I guess there would be less critics... <br />Offering their unsolicited advice, <br />As to which road I should have taken... <br />That would have afforded them more time, <br />To discourage my journey. <br />And less confused by it they would be. <br /> <br />But I have never made announcements, <br />As to which of my interests... <br />My mind would decide to prioritize. <br />Since a few are more obvious than others I protect. <br />And then one or two are needing adventure. <br />Yet there are those I purposely neglect, <br />If I suspect them needing rest... <br />From getting too much adverse publicity. <br /> <br />'Where is he going now with this? ' <br /> <br />~I don't know. <br />But he seems to have a knack, <br />To leave us teased with dead-end clues.~<br /><br />Lawrence S.
