As you go through life

As you travel through life there will always be 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
And look past the road that’s been rough.

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 many options in life
If you just learn to trust and let go.

Perhaps you’ll find warmth and affection and caring
And somebody special who’s there
To help you stay centered 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,
Are 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!
