The past is gone, and what's ahead, Thoughts of the unknown, now fill my head. My own strength, I must rely, To face what's unknown, though I may cry. For what I cannot change, I must not fear, To keep my peace, I must remain clear. The road ahead is filled with twists and turns, Worry and doubt, I must spurn. My worries will only bring me pain, So I must learn to accept what's in my realm. For all that life brings, I will strive, To overcome the obstacles, I will survive. My strength and courage, I must embrace, To stay on my path, no matter the pace. Though the future is uncertain, and may seem bleak, I will move forward, for I am not weak. I will not averse what is not in my control, For I will prevail, and reach my goal.
