Riding the Waves

Decisions, decisions
We make them
We regret them
We learn from them

Riding the waves
Learning the way
We search for answers
Among the carnage

Total confusions
Everything the same
Nothing the same
Life is not what we thought

Growing up, no longer a boy
Not yet a man, still a teen
Life is crazy, no longer about me
Learning to listen

Standing at the crossroad
Of maturity and adulthood
No longer blocking, but
Listening making informed decisions

Thanks Ian

I appreciate the comment. I wrote this after having a conversation with my youngest child, a son, eighteen years old. He finally matured and came to realize how he should conduct himself in life though totally confused he confessed.
He soon afterward move away a week ago and transferred to a technical college in Columbia. We attended the same technical college in town. He called me a few minutes ago to tell me things are going okay there and was chillin.
