The journey of life

No one knows what the future holds
but we know the future holds a lot for each and everyone of us
we just have to wait and watch
no use in cribbing or stressing about it
all in good time, as they say

We can never say which way life will go,
what it leads to
we can simply enjoy the journey
be on the alert at all times, cause ignorance is bliss only in dreams
hold the reins to try to counter the negative externalities on the way
take some risks but only when they seem to make a teeny weeny bit of sense
smell the flowers along the way
don't feel shy to enjoy the air

Each turn on the journey will bring with it something new
some times good, other times bad
either way you'll learn something
the trick is in being open to whatever life brings in front of you at that turn
its no use closing your eyes, cause you'll only crash and hurt
to learn you have to embrace everything with open arms,
so what if you have to kick it out with tears later on?

We each have one life
its up to us to make the most of it
no matter what we tell ourselves, its our choice
at the end of the journey we answer to no one but ourselves
so why do we shy away from living our lives the way we want for ourselves
don't forget the people around you,
god might have littered your life with thorns together with the roses
it is these very people who hold your hand when you walk bloody feet,
it is them who stand at the side with those silent smiles, watching you smell the roses

But most importantly don't forget yourself,
the special someone god created to live this life
the strength each one of us has within us to be someone
someone who we will be proud to be
someone who god will be proud to have created

Be true to yourself
for there is no bigger joy in life
