If you travel on the backroad <br />in your journey through this life, <br />'twill free you from the heavy load <br />that emburdens us with strife. <br /> <br />The backroad path may slow your pace, <br />while others move on ahead; <br />But life should never be a race, <br />place your ego back in bed. <br /> <br />This road won't lead to fortune's fame, <br />enhance holdings in your purse; <br />It may shed honor on your name, <br />free you from life's greedy curse. <br /> <br />The roses seem will smell as sweet <br />as you travel, day by day; <br />Just help someone that you may meet, <br />who got lost along the way. <br /> <br />The road you choose sets how you live. <br />Truth should never be denied. <br />Just choose a path where you may give <br />and you will be satisfied.<br /><br />Joseph Anderson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-life-s-backroad/
