When I Cross The Road - Unit Three Poem

When I cross the road I look left first then right,
I will not see today what I saw tonight.
I walk that very walk every single day,
That very walk it changes in every single way.
Today the flowers bloom, tomorrow they will die,
Today the birds sleep, tomorrow they will fly.
The road takes me places I shouldn't really go,
The road reveals secrets it shouldn't really show.
When I took that road I didn't really think,
That my life before hand would so quickly shrink.
Once I'd walked so far I couldn't find my way back,
I never thought of how their little minds would rack.
My feet chose that road, blame them if you must,
My feet had grown tired of all the mangled rust.
The life I lead is where my heart wants to be,
This life will not change no matter how you plea.
When I cross the road I look right first then left,
I will not see tonight what I saw when I left.
