Analysis of The Road
On this journey, youth believe
they’ve mastered all the steps,
unaware of
crossroads still to face
and falls yet to take.
Only in time
will they distinguish
a flower from a weed
and start to gather
bits of wisdom
which adorn their path.
For on this journey
from innocence
to experience,
there are no short cuts.
