The Winding Roads of Life

We journey through life's winding roads,

Navigating both light and dark abodes,

Seeking meaning and purpose each day,

Longing for a sense of hope and sway.

We strive for love and acceptance,

In a world that's full of pretense,

We dream of things yet to be,

And hold on to hope eternally.

Through pain and sorrow, we learn to heal,

Our wounds become our strength and seal,

We rise and fall, and rise again,

A never-ending cycle without end.

Oh, the human condition, a curious thing,

A dance of joy and pain that makes us sing,

May we embrace it all, the light and shade,

And find in it the beauty of our shared parade.
