Don't Look Back

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 you learn there are so many options in life

And so many ways you can grow.

Perhaps you'll go places you never expected

And see things you've never seen -

Or travel to fabulous far-away 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,

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.
