Notes About The Poem

Author's Note: This narrative poem presents a certain thematic view from my perspective concerning how we all move on with our respective lives as each of us seek out our individual realization of our destiny and fortune in life. This is, of course, my take on this particular theme. Enjoy the poem!! (Gary Bateman - February 19, 2022)

We All Move On

We All Move On 
 
Regardless of where each of us are at various stages
of our lives—we all move on.

The question is what each of us are choosing to do
about any uncertainties and problems we face as we
progress onward with our respective lives.

Fear, Excuses, Uncertainty, Prejudices, Stupidity,
and the Unknown are all convenient crutches that
many people prefer instead. Some fear and fear so
much any changes or things that might be different
from what they are used to.
 
The main thing is to truly move on with your life
and to seize any moment given to you in the quest
of finding and realizing your destiny and fortune.

I really enjoyed reading this poem as it reminded me of the importance of not letting fear and uncertainty hold us back from achieving our goals, and instead to seize every opportunity to move forward in our journey towards our destiny. Nicely penned!
