A JOURNEY
Nancye Sims
Your life is a journey ahead of you.
Each day is a new beginning.
Yesterday is a friend that will guide you.
There will be good times and bad times;
cherish the good, because they make life sweet,
but be thankful for the bad, for through them,
you come to know the meaning of life.
There will come times when
you face difficult decisions,
and you won't know which way to turn.
The important thing is that you make a choice
and move forward.
There will be times when you'll be unsure
of what to believe in;
Believe in yourself, and you will never
be without a direction.
There will be times that test
your strength and endurance,
but don't give up;
refuse to accept defeat,
for perseverance is the key to success.
There will be times when you are hurt by love.
Forgive those who hurt you,
so that your heart will be free
to love again.
There will be times when you make mistakes.
Remember that mistakes are not a reflection
of your self-worth, but of your humanity,
nor do they make you less of a person.
Because of the lessons you've learned,
You've grown and become wiser.
There will be times when your search for happiness
leads to frustration and disappointment.
To be happy with the world, you must first
be happy with yourself.
There will be times when life seems unfair;
there will be times when fear stands
in the way of reaching out for your dreams.
Confront your fears, and you will conquer them.
There will be times when your faith is shaken
but don't despair, for it will return.
Life gives everything that's needed to be happy;
all you need to do is reach out for it.
