The Little Road

There is a little road for all
To follow day by day;
A road with many sign posts
To guide us on our way.
These sign posts are for all to see,
And they are all we need,
For the journey is a safe one
If we go to where they lead.
This road is straight, but all along
Are paths we may detour,
But those who are wise keep their eyes
On the road they know is sure.
The ones who wander in the paths
Leaving the road behind
All will learn when they would return
The road is hard to find.
This little road is the road of life,
And it will always pay
To follow where we know is right
As we go along the way.
