A very well-written poem about how we see life differently when we are young and when we are older we see all the plans we made was not necessarily good for us and God changed most of them to protect ourselves from harm.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
So beautifully rhymed and you have quite an art with your ease of flow Roy, the message is the best part of the poem, you always finish with an amazing last line and this poem is no exception, 'my God will lead me through life's maze.' Love Dolly x

Comment from Angela VA
Ah, there's a lot of truth in here. I wonder if the young writers on here will understand it as well. Time leads to growth and learning that we cannot deny. This was easy to read because your meter and rhyming are "spot on."
