At some point and time, we all come to a place in our lives where we are forced to make some tough decisions..a place where the road diverges, and we have to take a leap of faith. Sometimes it is with a blind "flip of the coin" that we chose our path, and sometimes it is with careful thought and meditation. Which job will I take? Should I let my child date that person? Is it the right time to make a move? Is this the person I am supposed to marry? The questions vary as much as the answers. But you can be certain, somewhere down the road...it's gonna split, and you will find yourself at...
THE CROSSROADS
We are at a crossroads, you and I
Standing on the cusp of a new dawn
The decisions we face are not easy ones,
And that which results will shape our futures
We have become such good friends with the passage of time
In just one year, we've seen love come and go
We've faced pain and recovery, and natural disasters
And walked hand in hand in the face of adversity
Through it all, laughter and tenderness and genuine concern
Have forged strong bonds, the kind that bears the weight of your soul in the darkest hours
And as we grew together, so did that light within
Which from a mere flicker can grow to inferno when fed with affection and nurturing
Today, in a new light, we look at each other
Suddenly unsure of that which had been so certain, for so long
No longer do we see just a loyal and cherished friend,
But the possibility of a new future…one of much greater depth and meaning
We are tentative, and yet charged with a new excitement
We want to be cautious, and yet we are also daring to push the envelope
This is not the first time you and I have faced this type of experience,
But it is the first time we have walked into the flame together
If only it were within our capacity to understand the big picture
To know if we are entering into our destiny, or just taking yet another step toward it
Life would be much less complicated if we could see how all the little pieces fit together
And know which of those pieces of our lives are permanent, and which will fall away
But life is not like that, and you and I must feel our way
We are left to explore the possibilities and charter our own ship
It is the passage of time, which will dictate if we have chosen well
And will reveal where our paths are to lead us
Let us pray for the courage to follow our hearts
And let our convictions give us the strength to face the consequences of our decisions
But above all, let us hope that the bond we have forged
Will remain tried and true regardless of our outcomes
For without each other, we would continue to press forth
But it would be with a void, where there has been a strong presence
We have shared too much, come too far, to not move on
Therefore, let us do it with grace and dignity
As we stand here where the two roads diverge
Let us take each other by the hand and move forward lovingly
Let us be trustful of our own hearts, and of each other
And may we find peace in our souls, in knowing that we are not alone
We are at a crossroads, you and I
Standing on the cusp of a new dawn
The decisions we face are not easy ones,
And that which results will shape our futures
