"What Lies in the Journey"

I cannot control the ocean waves, nor turn the hands of Father Time. I cannot see the future, or take what is not mine. I do not know what lies ahead, but I know I’ll be just fine. So I will simply move ahead, and trust in God’s time. For whatever comes before me on this unfamiliar road. I know I must persevere, and steady I must hold. It does not rain forever, nor does life always stay gold. It’s our hardships that make us stronger, turn into stories when we’re old. I cannot take back words I’ve said, but I can learn from each mistake. I cannot make the whole world love, but I can teach it not to hate. Things happen for a reason, this I’ve come to know. What seems foggy today becomes clearer in tomorrow. I cannot control the ocean waves, nor turn the hands of Father Time. I cannot see the future, or take what is not mine. I can simply go my own way; do my best to help mankind. I can make the world a better place, one kind act, one person at a time. When I am lost, gone astray and nothing goes right. When my body starts to tremble, when I’m overwhelmed with fright. I find my way back from the dark by trusting in God’s light.
