Where Ya' Goin'

WHERE YA' GOIN' ?
Dr. Jim Martin


Where you go in life is up to you,
Or so folks often say.
New places to go or things to do,
Can often bring much dismay.

Going to a place where all are unknown
Can unnerve even the very strong.
Expectations are perhaps vaguely shown
As you try to decide where you belong.

In many new trials discovery is made
That endurance is put to the test.
Through much deep water you may have to wade,
Perseverance is that which is best.

So go where you’re going,
And new things learn.
In knowledge you will be growing,
And satisfaction you will earn.
