Life's highway,
is one hell of a road,
not always smooth,
full of pot holes.
You had better watch out
do as you are told,
if you want to stay on
the right side of the road.
We are taught from earlier on,
to love and respect every one.
As we get older we can practise,
what we preach,
don't want to wander off the street.
Temptation lingering,
around every corner, you have
to be strong.
Look ahead, and drive on.
And when we reach the end of the road,
don't look back,
look straight on,
a new journey has begun.

I loved this... a very inspirational food for thought write here. When doing freewrite, you to make sure that your lines break where they feel natural and do not hinder the flow. Just here and there I noticed the flow to be a little broken... But it did not distract me from the massage. Good write.
