We think we find a shortcut; It takes longer than it should. Some turns that we make in [our lives](https://www.poetryoflife.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/times-in-our-lives.md) Aren’t really all that good. From here on out I’ll take the straight away, No matter the time in which it takes; And hope that God will guide me, And that I make no more mistakes. Think about the road you take, It may take you out of your way, Do not take the roads I took, In the end, you may have to pay.
