Road of Life

Your life is just like a road,
That no other traffic flowed;
Having no speed limit signs,
No worry of speeding fines.

Just keep on driving straight,
No red lights making you wait;
Pavement so nice and smooth,
Eases your driving as to soothe.

But with things to look out for,
Potholes or maybe even a detour;
That easily lead you go astray,
Off of your Heavenly highway.

It can get bumpy on a curve,
Hazards causing you to swerve;
You can smash into a guardrail,
Which maybe a shortcut to Hell.

But in allowing Christ to drive,
He ensures that you safely arrive;
Where streets of gold are paved,
And you know that you are saved.
