Roads Not Taken

Reflecting on the choices I made
Within the chapters of my life's cascade
Numerous options were left behind
Hesitant, deeming them not my destined find

Contemplating the person I'd become
Had I ventured down any of those outcomes
Potential alterations, paths rearranged
Could I have reaped rewards, my life estranged?

Yet, in the realm of my earthly existence
I ponder, does it truly make a difference?
For it's merely a journey I partake
Regardless of the choices I forsake

Once we are cast on this Earth we muts take a choice at which road to take, then make our choice take the path
of either destiny or fate, what comes later is only the fruit bof our foremost choice. This is what life might be.
