Detour

 

Detour

In every life, there's a detour

It takes you away, so you can learn more

Off the beaten path, to a new place

A new experience, for you to embrace

Detours are fun, you just never know

Where you'll end up, where you will go

The unknown, can bring on some fear

“What the heck am I going to do here?”

Rest assured, you'll know what to do

Listen to your heart, and it'll ring true

A new adventure, a story to tell

One that you know, only too well

You're not lost, from where you should be

Experiencing something new, is the master key

Unlocking future doors, as you go along

When your soul takes the lead, you can't go wrong

Take a detour, enjoy everything

Dance with the flow, you can sing

Sometimes life takes you, somewhere new

Where you enjoy it, as you take in the view

For some, detours can be scary. But if you use

common sense, and the skills all humans have,

it can turn out to be the best place you can be.

It will be a place you never thought you'd be. But

because the detour took you there, you found a new

place, new friends, and a new life. You can always

go back to that road you were on, but you can also

stay where the detour took you. Because all roads

lead to home.
