Crossroads

Sometimes, when I look back and think of all the "could-have-beens" in my life,
I often wonder did I make the right choice?
Did I miss a road sign? Am I on the right track?

CROSSROADS... they happen all the time: saying goodbye to some, choosing only one.
Letting go, holding on, settling for now, but facing what must come.
Yes, in life we all reach a crossroad sometime.

We make painful decisions and take some risks as we pursue our dreams.
But one should not stay at the CROSSROADS too long.
For even the birds have to leave their nests sometimes and learn how to fly.
Mother Eagles were known to push their young eaglets out of the nest,
even before a flying demonstration was granted.
Somehow, built deep within them, there is an inbuilt ability to fly. And they did.
Life's road is long and rough, and there are stretches when one has to do it all alone.
And should you meet the CROSS at the ROAD, be consoled.

Yes, more often than not, the road less travelled will surely bring you home.
Face the light and the shadow falls behind you.
Turn your back and the shadow stays in front of you.
Indeed, the truth hurts, but it will surely set you free.

Some people meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try.
I don't expect you to understand that, or even believe it,
but trust me, there are some loves that don't go away.
And maybe that makes them crazy.
But we should all be lucky to end up with that somebody who has a little of that insanity.
Somebody who never lets go. Somebody who cherishes you forever.

I have cherished and nournished this insanity in my life journey,
and I have found it to be a worthwhile travel...
for I can only pass through this life once.
Let me love you unreservedly....

Especially to...my wifey :)
