As we journey through life, meeting good times and bad;

Embracing the joy; then enduring the sad;

Opportunities course through our days like swift streams;

With so many adventures, challenges, dreams.

​

 Though we may never know where our travels will go;

If the route we traverse will be fast or slow;

Take your time to enjoy all the sounds and each sight.

Reflect on the beauty and savor the light.

 

Whether burdens are few or you bear heavy loads;

Wherever you are on mortality’s roads;

Search your soul to find courage. Be brave. Raise your chin.

Look over your shoulder to see where you’ve been.

 

Hold close to the memories that have lifted your past.

Remember that love is a gift that will last.

Then look forward, the path is exciting and new;

Where your next adventure is waiting for you.
