Labyrinth of Life

The boy was lost
of this he was certain
took too man wrong paths
in this labyrinth of life.
Every time he set out
on a different course
it would always end the same
the path blocked his way.
He knew he had to find
that one special way
which would lead him to freedom
as such was his goal.
He feared the thought
or the realization
of the evil Minotaur
just waiting to kill.
He’s beginning to give up hope
that he’ll ever get out
trapped for all time
in this sinister game.
But he knows he must try
he must keep on the watch
for the path to his life
the fulfillment he sought.
