Don't Look Back

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 new status quo;
And 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 that you've never seen;
Or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds,
And wonderful spots in between!

Perhaps you'll find warmth,
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 that your friends
Are supportive in 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!
