The Road Of Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEE FFGG

How long is the road the weary man sighedA
As long as life itself the wise one repliedA
We chase each hour we chase each dayB
Trading our moments for a fleeting payB
-
We toil and sweat for a prize unseenC
A privilege promised yet seldom gleanedD
While the sun sets softly and the winds sighE
We miss the journey asking only WhyE
-
The road stretches endless beneath our feetF
Not in the goal but in the steps we meetF
Pause breathe let the moments alignG
Life is the road and the road is thineG

Poet's note: A weary traveler, burdened by the routine of work and the constant chase for wealth and success, pauses on a long and winding road. He asks a wise guide, “How long is this road?” and is told, “As long as life itself.” As he journeys forward, he meets people who live differently—some obsessed with achievements, others savoring simple joys. He witnesses sunsets, feels the wind, and realizes that while he has been focused on distant goals, he has missed the richness of the present moments. Through reflection, he understands that life is not measured by prizes or milestones, but by each step, each experience, and the awareness of being present. The road stretches endlessly, but it is his own to walk, and the journey itself is the treasure.
