The Road Untraveled
(In the Cat’s Eye, 2009) is a
poem I wrote for some friends and read at their wedding. All of us hope to find
a friend in life with whom we can share our journey. Sometimes we are fortunate
enough to have that dream come true. It is a great gift.
If it were in my power, this would be what I would wish for
all of you. For those of you who have already found that person, God has
blessed you. For those still searching, may you be blessed soon with someone
with whom to walk the “untraveled road”.

The Road Untraveled
(For Rocket and
Robin)
There are no maps for
roads untraveled.
Twists and turns are
only charted,
As viewed in our rear
view mirrors.
Destinations are
places in dreams,
Never quite matching
reality.
Each of us faces so
many variables,
So many decisions
made and not made,
That finding a fellow
traveler,
To share life’s
journeys, life’s choices,
Often seems the stuff
of fairy tales.
Yet sometimes, the
heavens align,
And some of us are
blessed
To find a partner,
To share both the
dreams, and the reality.
Such events are cause
for celebration.
We gather together in
recognition
When this miracle
happens.
That in the vast
expanse of the universe,
We do not have to be
alone.
That warmth exists
outside the stars.
We rejoice in the
looks and touches
Of love and
friendship.
The chance to see the
world in broader spectrum.
In the opportunity to
seek out
An untraveled
road…together.
