What's On The Road Ahead Poem by Melvina Germain

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, wishing you all a beautiful and Blessed day. You know many of you might be encountering some tough times, lost a love one, a husband or wife walked away from you, having problems with your children or you just can't seem to make ends meet. Well know first of all that you're not alone. Also realize that life changes and often when you least expect it. I know you've heard this before, 'You never know whats on the road ahead. That is so true, there may be something great waiting just for you.

We've talked about failure leading to success, that happens over and over again. We can look back at some great people and read about the darkness they encountered in their lives, yet those people never gave up, they kept forging ahead, taking that slow and steady step forth. Knowing that alone tells us that history repeats itself. The fact is, it doesn't happen only in the lives of great people, people who have made their mark in society, people who are shining at the helm, people who have become famous. It can happen to everybody, it can happen to you and that's what it's all about. It's about you knowing what you want, knowing that you have the tenacity to keep on moving forward no matter what obstacles try to stop you. All you have to do is not let 'YOU' stop you. Voices of jealous people, voices of people who stand in fear of you, voices of the insecure will always try to place that block in front of you, will add that negative note, tell you your foolish and what you are aiming for can't be done.

Let these people go and work hard for what you want, the more they stand in your way, the more you self motivate. When you step up and take that final rung on the ladder, when you reach the top, you can thank yourself and know that all the failures, all the darkness, all the jealousy was a part of you becoming that success. Well then you can take stock and at that point when you look around you will see maybe very few friends or maybe only one friend who stood by you all the way. That one person that helped to encourage you, that one person that believed in you, that one person who loved you so much who never had a negative word to say to you and that's the person that you'll embrace and treasure for the rest of your life.

I have such close friends in my life, I have one in particular who has always stood by me, encouraging, motivating and who has loved me all through these years and I'm fortunate that she is still alive and still a great support. I don't have to mention her name, she knows who she is. She's reading this right now and smiling.


Whatever you want in life, it's waiting for you, it's right around the corner waiting for you to do the things you need to do to grab hold and live your dream. Others may believe you can do it but you need to believe it and move forward and grasp it. Blessings to you.
