Voyage Through Life Poem by Ben Akinpelumi

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!
