It's a bumpy ride
This journey of life
Some twists and turns
At times it seems slow
But never when you want it to

There's a dark wood ahead
We all must pass through
And how you do the journey
The path you choose
Determines where you end

Through the shadows comes the light
Every darkness eventually turns to day
Even if you can't see the glow
It's there, just waiting for you
Because you have to go to it

Life waits on no one
Not even for a moment
It teases you with flirtatious ease
Jading you as your sense of time fades
And you forget what you are searching for

Just keep moving forward
This too shall pass
It's okay to be sad
But don't forget to be glad
Tomorrow is another day

It's not about dodging your problems
Or taking the easy road
But about love and friendship and family
And the joys, whether simple or complex
Learning to **** up the bad stuff and move on

Make the most of your life
It isn't a gift to you but your gift to the world
The only things that are impossible
Are the things you believe you cannot do
Along this road, only you make the speed limit
