專四晨讀美文：Don't Look Back

Don't Look Back
As you travel through life
there are always those times
when decisions just have to be made
when the choices are hard,
and solutions seem scarce
and the rain seems to soak your parade!
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 status
and learn there are so many options in life,
and so many ways you can grow!
Perhaps you'll go to places
you've 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 and affection
and caring-a "somebody special"
who's there to help you stay cantered
and listen with interest to stories
and feelings you share.
Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing
your friends are supportive of 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!
