As You Travel Through Life

“As You Travel Through Life“

As you travel through life there are always those times

 

When decisions just have to be made,

When the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce,

 

And the rain seems to soak your parade.

There are some situations where all you can do

 

Is simply let go and move on,

Gather your courage and choose a direction

 

That carries you toward a new dawn.

So pack up your troubles and take a step forward

 

The process of change can be tough,

But think about all the excitement ahead

 

There might be adventures you never imagined

Just waiting around the next bend,

 

And wishes and dreams just about to come true

In ways you can’t yet comprehend!

 

Perhaps you’ll find friendships that spring from new things

As you challenge your status quo,

 

And learn there are so many options in life,

Perhaps you’ll go places you never expected

 

And see things that you’ve never seen,

Or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds

 

And wonderful spots in between!

Perhaps you’ll find warmth and affection and caring

 

And somebody special who’s there

To help you stay cantered and listen with interest

 

To stories and feelings you share.

Perhaps you’ll find comfort in knowing your friends

 

Are supportive of all that you do,

And believe that whatever decisions you make,

 

They’ll be the right choices for you.

So keep putting one foot in front of the other,

 

And taking your life day by day…

There’s a brighter tomorrow that’s just down the road –

 

Don’t look back! You’re not going that way!

I want to express thanks to whoever the author unknown is that wrote that poem. It’s a poem that’s crossed my path many times over the years and it always seems to show up on days I needed to hear it most….like today
