You can follow your heart
down the path of selfish dreams
and result at a dead end
marked with heartache
and suffering.
Or you can choose to consult
the map of your destiny
and let yourself
be navigated by
the unfailing compass.
Watch out for
those detours
and diversions
meant to test your trust
on the one who leads you.
Do not lose your focus
along the narrow highway
and become
distracted by
the surrounding scenery.
Maintain your faith
and you will not deviate
off course but will
reach your destination,
a place to call home.

What a nice first read and visit I have had with you today. I am new to Post Poems and just beginning to venture out to different poets sites.
A very meaningful read. I hope your path will continue to move in the direction of hope.
