Tips for the Road

It’s not always easy.
At times you might ask yourself, “How could I have done things
differently?” 
There are moments we are feeling high, then we can be knocked
 right down.
Things could be going good, and sometimes we feel like we
might drown.
There are obstacles you will meet and have to defeat.
Decisions that are made, good of bad all come with some kind
of affect.
Think things through and use your intellect.
Choose wisely, which route will you take, while trying to 
avoid  a mistake.
Beware of those around you, they could be fake. 
Surround yourself with those who truly care and you
know will be there.
Share your heart and forgive, take the time to give.
Love, laugh, and be happy, that’s how we all should live.
Stay true to who you are.
You will be fine, and loved no matter near or far.

Thomas Paine would have been proud. With tips for the road, I can see the way to enlightenment, illuminated by the simplest of truths, expressed with elegance. Penetrating, insightful.

Personal philosophy and common sense. Unfortunately, common sense is not very common. I wonder if any of us will ever gain even a fraction of your poignant insight...another 10...or X...or whichever you prefer ;)

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
