Life Is a Journey

Life is a journey
An honor to have and to hold
To succeed and to fail
To be born and grow old

Cherish the opportunities
Go forth – thinking well
Learn from the mistakes
Growth occurs – time will tell

Obstacles will manifest
People will say what they say
Keep your eye on process
Clear your mind – logic and reason guiding your way

Your time is now
The moment is here
Accept what you can’t change
Do what’s right – be as you appear

Life is what we make of it
Ultimately - life is what we do
So give life all you have
Dreams – make them all come true


Carpe diem - "Seize the day"
