Best Life Is A Journey Poems
Why do sad tears come to me at night? Life is a journey,
is that my beloved in the light? Life is a journey.
Oh, turn back the pages of the tangled path I have lived,
from a small girl it has been a fight! Life is a journey.
In dreams I see the beautiful faces of the long dead,
I should be scared as it is a fright! Life is a journey.
Come, my ghosts whisper soft to me, your lips we want to kiss,
when I try to hold them- they take flight! Life is a journey.
Down a long winding road I bring red roses for the dead,
and that evening, I will sadly write! Life is a journey.
I am heartbroken but I can still fly and soar up high,
I can go to an amazing height! Life is a journey.

Life is a journey
So they say-
Some are happy
Some are not
Some struggle
Some do not
My life's journey
Is frustrating
I see a road
I want to take
I start upon the path
So far so good- I say
Until I walk furtherier
Along the road
What I see -I do not like
A barrier pops up
Oh..my gosh!
So I get up-set
But I try again
Again and again
Where they came from
I do not know
My dreams for my life
Comes and goes
I wish it would change
So I can be-
Where I want to be
Instead of where i am
In limbo not knowing
Where I will be
There has been
Two many sorrows
In my life time
I say-Time for a change
For a better life for me
So I have decided-
To keep walking this road
For as long as it takes me
Until I see no more barriers
Then my life will change
for the better
Sometimes the light's all shining on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
What a long strange trip it's been,
from Truckin by The Dead
Life is a Journey
Life is a long journey with
high hills and deep valleys.
Day after day one foot
in front of another.
Dark nights of deep depression,
offset by sunlit days of happiness.
Take one day at a time, and
accept what is my lot.
Failures, like impassable walls
block my way.
Success provides the path
around them.
People appear along the road
to accompany me.
Some for a short time and
others for the whole trip.
Sometimes people
act as my guide.
Other times they seek
to hinder me.
Many times, I walk alone
with only myself to rely on.
Sometimes I am surprised
and other times not.
In my golden years, I look back
at the road I have travelled.
Sometimes, I laugh, other
times I cry.
The Dead were right.
It has been a long strange trip!
life is a journey they say,
but not a destination
still, I come to find a family is my only fascination
a mother that wants me
one who I can call my own.
a dad who's their though thick and thin
to see how strong I've grown
I have traveled as if to say
my whole life you see
but I feel lost , with no home stuck on this endless journey
cant be close cause soon ill leave
yes still I where my heart on my sleeve
no matter how many times I dream things
that never come true
ill still have faith that someday ill be happy to
I wonder what its like to wake up Christmas morning
with warmth, and light ,and love
but wondering wont get me far or at least that's what I'm told
from foster home to foster home on an endless path
I write my life that soon ill have
now i cry and prey "at last"
ELDORADO-LIFE IS A JOURNEY
Vijay K Koduri MD
In twilight, as the day takes its bow,
Longer and shorter, dances the shadow.
Living out barely on daily wages!
Loving those daring high stake wagers!
A mere cry in the cradle for one!
A loud shout out for those landing on the moon!
Life is a journey, compete not just compare!
Not how many sights you see!
Love voraciously the byte you view.
Not how many miles you go!
Leave a mark in the mile you be.
Not how much you got!
Be gracious with what you sought.
Life is a journey, live, not just move!
Not how many games you play!
Show your best and do it the right way.
Not how much you read!
Practice well, with what you did.
Not how many friends you gather!
Make them feel, it's you they have rather.
Life is a journey, love, not just have!
Missed a much-awaited promotion!
Focus to behave, not just crave.
You never want to hear!
“Your seat isn't here, and you need to move over.”
Take a seat in a row, that’s lower.
Requests will pour in, for you to come over.
Life is a journey, be humble, not just entitled!
Sore after a rocky relation?
Just leave it and get over it.
Want to own a Silverado,
Yours, it could belong.
In pursuit of Eldorado!
The drive could be way too long!
Life is a journey. live your dream, not just live in them.
Life is a journey,
For those who believe,
There is a place far greater
Than what we now see.
We all have different paths in life,
Different journeys along the way,
How we choose to live our lives,
Determines where we'll stay.
We are only travelers
In a world that's not our home,
For there is an occasion and a time
For every purpose under Heaven.
And when our journey finally ends,
We'll find a great reward,
Having peace and understanding
Together with the Lord.
Life is a Journey
To my brother and sisters as you travel along the high of life, I want you to keep in your mind the road condition. There is going to be rainy days, sunny days, fog that will make it hard for you to see.
Let us not forget about the snow and ice that can cause you to slip and fall. Watch out for pot holds and detours that will cause you to get off track.
Along this highway that you are to travel, you are going to meet many others. Some of these people will be going in the same direction; these may prove to be good company, so fellowship.
There are going to be some that are standing still on the side of the road or just stranded in need of help or they may be lost. You might want to stop and pull out the old trusted Atlas, that book of books, Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth, your Bible. Sharing the word just might save someone.
As you continue to travel down the highway of life, there is going to be people who are going in the wrong direction. These you want to be verrry careful of!!!
Help them to turn around if they are willing to listen, but do not let them cause you to crash and burn! Stay focused their direction is detrimental to their soul as well as yours so beware!
While you are traveling down the highway of life with your spiritual license, use your knowledge and the wisdom found in your trusted road Atlas, that Book of books; the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth, the Bible.
If your path has been true and your heart has been in your journey, this highway that you have been traveling should bring you to the interstate, the interstate to Heaven.
Beware! This Highway to Heaven is paved with good intentions and if you turn the wrong way, it can easily become hells highway. Stay diligent and strong in the Word and use good judgment in all things that you do.
You will meet many people along the way, some will be Angels in disguise, and others will be demons. The Angels are a blessing, but the demons , well they will offer you free rent with free heat but the costs is very high.
Well I have come to the end of this roadside assistance and I will leave you with this, so keep it next to your heart.
Life is a journey so sit back and enjoy the ride. You are in good hands with Jesus
This journey of life,
You must take out
The bad from the good,
Always love what you got,
And never forget what you had.
We must forgive and never forget,
For people change.
When things get bad,
Just recall to keep your head up,
And move forward;
And remember your journey
Of life must always go on.

Life is a journey that is anything but turnkey
Full of many doors that we must open
As we find our way through another day
There are so many doors to choose from
Before all the opportunities
Will just flee or get by me
So we have to try to always reach for the sky
Turning all of life's opportunities on high
We have to let some pass us by
For every new door that opens
We need to test the waters
As they come ashore
We must not ignore what makes us soar
Before the next door closes
We need not worry or get in a hurry
About all the doors that are so blurry
For every new door that brings opportunity
Should allow us to foresee
Which are key for us to agree
Moving forward before the next door closes
We have to let go of those doors
That brings the doubt without clout
That turns our world all about
Making us want to shout
Why we figure out
Why we all stumble and fumble
Surely these are the doors that we must close
Because everybody knows it all makes us grow
Into the person, we have come to know
So take it nice and slow
And just find the right flow
Life is what you make it
So don't fake it
Or break it
But rather
Make it your own
Life is a journey to another place.
We know from whence we start
But not the destination.
It lies somewhere,
That terminus,
Within the scope of time and space,
Yet still may be,
For some of us,
Beyond the reach of our imagination.
Life is a journey-that is what our ancestors said,
The first step always filled with a big void,
The path filled with thorns,
With no pause button to rest.
The destination is future,
Unknown to many,
With different paths,
But still is the same journey.
The journey may be shorter,
Or it may be longer
The journey may be bitter,
To some, it might be honey,
Some may start on foot,
Others may go by plane,
Some won’t mind a train,
Other will take the bus,
Many will carry the luggage,
Others won’t mind leaving them behind,
To some may have nothing to carry,
But others will be proud to donate.
The journey may build the confidence,
To others, it might break their courage,
While some may become smarter,
Others will become worst.
Whether you like the journey,
Or you hate the journey,
It will always change who you are,
Because you can’t stop it.
As the journey finally ends,
The rewards will be reclaimed,
Will it be an everlasting peace?
Or will it be an inextinguishable pain?

PHYSICIAN WILLIAM HARVEY CLAIMED THAT THE HEART IS A MUSCLE PUMPING BLOOD TO THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, ALSO HE DISCOVERED THAT THE VEINS FLOWED TOWARDS THE HEART.
AS A YOUNG PERSON WHEN EVER I READ THE BIBLE, THE HEART PLAYED A MAJOR PART.
ABOVE ALL ELSE GUARD YOUR HEART, FOR EVERYTHING FLOWS FROM IT
PROVERBS 4:23
THAT ALWAYS LEFT ME WONDERING , BECAUSE THE HEART WAS EVERYTHING, LOVE, KINDNESS, EMPATHY, GRATITUDE, COMPASSION, LOVE FOR ALL HUMANITY, PEACE. "THE HEART DOES SO MUCH"
IN 1991 DOCTOR J ANDREW ARMOUR, COIN THE TERM THAT THE HEART HAS A BRAIN.
I HAVE READ SOME OF HIS WORK, AND MY WONDERING HAS FOUND A PLACE WHERE SCIENCE HAS PROVEN WHAT HAS BEEN SAID IN THE BIBLE ABOUT THE HEART.
THE LORD DOES NOT LOOK AT THE THINGS PEOPLE LOOK AT,PEOPLE LOOK AT THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE, BUT THE LORD LOOKS AT THE HEART.
1 SAMUEL 16:7
I USE TO SAY THAT THE BIBLE HAS BEEN SLICED AND DICED SO MANY TIMES DID IT MAKE SENSE TO READ IT, BUT MY GOOD FRIEND, THE LATE
HIS EMINENCE ABUNA YESEHAQ MANDEFRO, THE ARCHBISHOP OF THE ETHIOPIAN ORTHODOX TEWAHEDO CHURCH, ENCOURAGE ME TO CONTINUE TO READ THE BIBLE, BECAUSE THE TRUTH ALWAYS COMES TO LIGHT, THE MORE YOU TRY TO SUPPRESS IT, THE MORE IT BUBBLES TO THE TOP.
"HE WAS SO RIGHT"
A WISE HEART ACCEPTS COMMANDS, BUT A CHATTERING FOOL COMES TO RUIN.
PROVERBS 10:8
I HAVE BEEN VERY FASCINATED BY STUDIES OF THE HEART, HERE IS WHAT SOME DOCTORS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE HEART.
THE HEART IS A CENTER OF HIGHER WISDOM.
THE HEART STRUCTURE IS SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE BRAIN, IT HAS A NETWORK OF NEURONS,NEURITRANSMITTERS, PROTEINS AND SUPPORTS THE CELLS.
THE HEART CONTAINS, NEURONS AND GANGLIA, THE SAME FUNCTIONS AS THE BRAIN.
THE HEART SENDS MORE INFORMATION TO THE BRAIN, THAN THE BRAIN DOES TO THE HEART.
A CHEERFUL HEART IS GOOD MEDICINE, BUT A CRUSHED SPIRIT DRIES UP THE BONES.
PROVERBS 17:22
EVERY NATION FOR GENERATIONS, FROM THE DEEPEST JUNGLES TO THE HIGHEST MOUNTAINS, THEIR ANCESTORS HAVE TOLD THE SAME STORY ABOUT LIFE AND BEING ONE WITH THE CREATOR AND MOTHER EARTH, JUST READ YOUR BIBLE, OR ANY BOOK ON ENLIGHTENMENT, AS WE CONTINUE OUR LIFE'S JOURNEY.
YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FINE ME, WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART.
JEREMIAH 29:13
THE HEART TRANSCENDS ALL THINGS
Life is a journey on a high way
hills and valleys are many
rough winds and rains interfere
there are many traffic jams
highway codes on roadsides
uphill, you push on- no giving up
on flat surface celebrate
downhill fly as a sparrow
