Question: A poem cleaned up to Common Metre, comments and critique!?
CROSSROADS

I stand at crossroads and wonder
Which way am I to turn!?
The dark skies now seem to thunder
My heart within me burn!.

I don't know whether decision
Brought me to this moment,
It was not my deft precision
My reason aptly spent!.

I have passed so many milestones
Along the path of life
Not one my destination owns,
The reason of my strife!.

Looking ahead a lonesome way
There yet before me lies,
Leading up to my final day
When my spirit flies!.

Where Another went before me,
For me His cross He bore,
That all my roads Cross roads should be,
And I should doubt no more!.
