There is an easy way to go about life and then there is the right way to live. This is a piece about an individual whom chooses a route of righteousness even when facing difficulties. This is a lesson that many need to learn in the form of a poem:

There once was a man with a heart of gold.

But his ridged, ragged edges revealed stories untold.

He’s faced hardships and heartbreak through his life.

But, it is known that he always put up a fight.

Through experiences on grim and dim roads,

he continued to carry burden filled loads.

Even in the thick heaps of gravel,

this man learned to take the path less traveled.

This fighter is familiar to life turning upside-down.

And with this he refuses to be made into a clown.

He faces trials upon trials while enduring his journey.

As the faith of God acts as his attorney.

Most would flee from the struggles he faces,

but anxiety within this soul shows no traces.

Even through the brush that is haggled,

this man continues to take the path less traveled.

Just when the rough waters seemed to be ending,

a storm came along that led the peace to be pending.

The man did not fear, and he did not turn a shoulder.

He continued to walk as the weather turned colder.

The tactics that were used to handle his troubles were right,

never easy, so it took all of this champion’s might.

This man is a man who, even down to the last gavel,

showed the world what happens when one takes the path less traveled.

I hope you take the path less traveled.
