Poem - Moving On – Jamie Lynn Waters
By: Jamie Lynn Waters
There comes a point in life when we all grow up
The loss of innocence,
Promises,
Heartbreaks,
Loss of loved ones,
High school,
Graduation,
It’s all a part of life,
Some may experience more than others but it’s what makes you, you
Don’t lose your morals and faith for the pleasure of others,
Keep your ground and hold your head high,
Show people you can be who you want to be and still succeed,
Sometimes there will be a fork in the road,
Take the path in which you feel you will succeed because if worse comes to worst
There’s always construction, you can make it back on that path of triumph,
It’s never too late,
You’ll learn from your mistakes and become more cautious as you continue on the path of life.
