Pack your back, charge your phone,
Head out, and just explore…
Clear away the current noise,
…Prepare for what’s in store.

Find the space, within your mind,
To set your fears aside,
Take a breath, take that step,
Leave those thoughts behind.

Find a place you’ve never been,
That soothes your troubled soul,
Feel the beauty in every day,
Make your spirit whole.

Look around, be at peace,
Take in the morning light,
Feel the Sun, rise again,
Ushering out the dark of night.

Feel the hope, that’s always there,
The day began anew,
With all the things that could just be,
Just waiting there for you.

Seize the chance, where you are,
Stop rushing, and just “be”.
Find the calm within your mind,
Set your spirit free.

Journey on, find a path,
See all that is around,
Know that you will never fly,
With your feet upon the ground.

Welcome change, as it comes,
Cross the bridge in sight,
It’s part of what makes life sublime,
Have faith, it will be alright.

Know that you’ve done your part,
To expand your field of view,
And tomorrow will be another day,
With hope and joy for you.

So go, my friend, and find that road,
Journey on until tomorrow,
And soon that smile, will rule the day,
And wash away your sorrow.

For the times we need to clear our minds, take a step, and follow the path forward…
