Just A Thought ~ THE ROAD AHEAD

Where have you been,
And where will you go?
The road ahead is dim,
And undoubtedly the future holds
Much weariness, sorrow and pain;
It holds despair, danger and fear,
Loneliness and sadness.
What's the point of going on?
Why not give up now?
Ah, but ...
That's not all the future holds;
There'll also be opportunities to learn
Lessons of life you need to know;
There'll be joy as well as sorrow;
You'll encounter friends as well as foes,
Sympathy as well as indifference,
Welcome as well as rejection,
Honesty as well as deception,
Wisdom as well as stupidity,
Love as well as hate, Goodness as well as evil.
And so, onwards!
