We Live, We Die

I read once that on its way to the moon Apollo 11 was only on course for about 3% of its journey. But land on the moon it did, as we all know. Live is not linear. It requires constant adjusting. Each one of us experiences hills and valleys, straights and narrows, corners and roundabouts. We all take chances and miss opportunities. What counts at the end of the day is our willingness to reassess our coordinates and make a choice to stay our course. I hope that my poetry empowers you and, in a small way, contributes to navigating the roadmap of your own life.
