poetry for the soul

A journey begins
Not with the first step
But with the mental decision
To make the first step

On the road
There are many hazards
Roadblocks and careless drivers
Safety is a necessity

There are those
Who will stop you with no fault
And demand a bribe
Do not fret, keep going

There are those
Who will try to push you off the road
There are those
Who will try to overtake you
Do not fret keep going

There are those
Who will arrogantly and loudly hoot at you
When you make a mistake
Do not worry, do not beat yourself up
Do not fret keep going

And when you cover a milestone
Do not forget to stop and look back
And give yourself a pat
For having come this far, because
You did not fret, you kept going.
