Along a Curvy Path

Life is like a race
Along a curvy path.
If you are too slow,
You lose out.
If you’re too fast,
You slip out of the track.

It’s about learning
To negotiate sharp bends
Safely and carefully
While also maintaining the pace
And not becoming stagnant
Along the curvy path.

It’s about having
An unwavering focus
On the finish line
But also about looking through the window
And enjoying the beautiful sight
Along the curvy, scenic path.

It’s as much about looking forward
Into what unravels ahead
And planning your next move
As it is about looking into the rearview mirror
And cherishing all that’s bygone
All along this curvy, unforeseen path.
