"Rome"

There are many roads to Rome, it’s true
And possibly I feel subdued
I’m humbled by the twists and turns
The overwhelming choices earned

But there are many ways to Rome, he’d say
Before you change your mind and sway
through Rio, Brazil, and Madrid, Spain
To see the world and back again

It almost seems like Rome is near
Though many paths, the goal is clear
Still, fears come greet me all the while
For life most perfect is, most fragile…
