Don't Look Back

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 to simply let go and move on.

Gather courage together

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

if you can be stalwart enough!

There could 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 interests

as you challenge your status quo.

And learn there are many

options in life,

and so many ways you can grow!

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 -

a "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,

will 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!
