Paths of the future

Where we are going in life,
is a question no one can answer.
The paths that lead to the future,
are twisted and rough.
But no matter which one we choose,
the sun always shines at the end.
Whether we get to this sun or not,
is another matter.
For the path is good or bad,
as we make it.
The opportunities and risks we take,
help us to reach this sun.
Those who sit back and wait,
are the ones who will never witness this spectacle.
Those who step forward and grasp the challenges,
are the ones who feel the warmth of its rays.
