Life's a Journey (a poem)

Just a simple poem

Truly, life's a journey of joy and sorrow!

No guarantee for happiness for every tomorrow.

Let us be  prepared for defeat or victory,

And rely on God’s promises to keep us company.

Perhaps there’ll be  times when we wanna give up!

Everything  isn’t easy,  situation seems so tough..

But we have no choice but to keep on going..

Fret not otherwise we'll end up  losing.

Be courageous enough to meet life’s battle,

Choose the right track in spite of all the struggle.

Move ahead with our eyes fixed on our goals.

Stand  up and stay calm whenever we fall.

Keep on Moving

You might be moving aimlessly, just like them...

 it seems you're going nowhere...

Sometimes you're in doubt if you’ll ever get to your  destination...

you’re getting tired...  
sometimes dispirited.

it’s not an easy journey...
(and who got the perfect trip anyway?, perhaps nobody)

If it seems slow, do not despair 
for these things will surely come to pass…
Just be patient! They will not be 
overdue a single day! (Habakkuk 2:3)

Happiness Along The Journey

Got my share of ups and downs...We're all in the same life's journey.

Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home. ~Matsuo Basho 

Happiness is a journey, not a destination; happiness is to be found along the way not at the end of the road, for then the journey is over and it's too late. The time for happiness is today not tomorrow. ~Paul H Dunn 

Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. And if you don't collect all these tiny successes, the big ones don't really mean anything. ~Norman Lear 

The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy; I mean that if you are happy you will be good. ~Bertrand Russell 

So much sadness exists in the world that we are all under obligation to contribute as much joy as lies within our powers. ~John Sutherland Bonnell 

Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember. ~Oscar Levant
