Bumpier Roads

We suffer the same

both you and I

We play the same game

and all we can do is try

At first, it's all so much fun

and then we begin to wonder

Walking along under a bright yellow sun

glad to have escaped the storms and thunder

What's it all about, and what do I do

life's little questions, oh, do they haunt

It is all a massive journey for me, and you

a never-ending journey, a perilous jaunt

It's what makes it all worth it, my friend

the toils and troubles we live through

As our journey rounds yet another bend

wondering again, what do we do

Answers don't often come easy

but that's the life we chose

At times it's all so unpleasing

we take it as it comes, in every size dose

It's life surreal

no matter what, we have to live with what we're given

We're humans, it's the deal

all on our own road, hoping to find something to believe in

The show's unscripted, and we don't always have control

stumbling through it like a minefield, trying to avoid hell

We may cross a few lines, like the gods of old

but we keep going until the last bell

These are the roads we travel

the bumpier roads we live

Speeding headlong on gravel

ready to put up all that we can give

We suffer the same

both you and I

We'll feel the same pain

until we win or we die

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
