I SAW TWO ROADS
And I Only Travelled One
Reaching the top of my journey,
the pinnacle of my childhood dream,
I saw two roads
One that glittered in the distance
And another that weathered beneath my feet.
Every step I took hurt
I threaded my path carefully with tears
Realising that what I had just achieved
was not the end
but the beginning.
The beginning of a mission
to open the minds of the little ones
and impart knowledge,
To shine the light on their paths
So they too can reach the pinnacle of their dreams.
As I retraced my route back to my roots
I lost sight of the road
That glittered in the distance
Maybe I'll go there someday
But until then I must continue my mission.

Remembering the rink
If you were there, you’ll never forget it. For decades, Durham Ice Rink was at the heart of the city’s social life. From Friday night ice discos to crowds roaring on the Wasps every Sunday, not to mention a proud history of figure skating and speed skating, the riverside rink was the place to be.

Really very emotional and my favorite part is this: "impart knowledge". This is our duty to impart the lessons we learned to make them their way easier. Trying to help them not to make the same mistakes we made.
"Retraced my route back to my roots". I really loved that! Your poem was so emotional and I absolutely loved it!
