As you travel through life there are always those times <br />When decisions just have to be made, <br />When the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce, <br />And the rain seems to soak your parade. <br /> <br />There are some situations where all you can do <br />Is simply let go and move on, <br />Gather your courage and choose a direction <br />That carries you toward a new dawn. <br /> <br />So pack up your troubles and take a step forward - <br />The process of change can be tough, <br />But think about all the excitement ahead <br /> <br />There might be adventures you never imagined <br />Just waiting around the next bend, <br />And wishes and dreams just about to come true <br />In ways you can't yet comprehend! <br /> <br />Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new things <br />As you challenge your status quo, <br />And learn there are so many options in life, <br /> <br />Perhaps you'll go places you never expected <br />And see things that you've never seen, <br />Or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds <br />And wonderful spots in between! <br /> <br />Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring <br />And somebody special who's there <br />To help you stay cantered and listen with interest <br />To stories and feelings you share. <br /> <br />Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends <br />Are supportive of all that you do, <br />And believe that whatever decisions you make, <br />They'll be the right choices for you. <br /> <br />So keep putting one foot in front of the other, <br />And taking your life day by day... <br />There's a brighter tomorrow that's just down the road - <br />Don't look back! You're not going that way!<br /><br />Poonam Rajora<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-you-travel-through-life-by-unknown-author/
