Don't Turn Away

If it's a poem you want, it's a poem you got :)

Times may be difficult,
You life filled with turmoil,
But don’t turn away,
Look forward and face life,
With vigor and enthusiasm.

I have never turned my back on you,
Do not turn away from life.
You are troubled,
More than I may know,
Please, have faith in life and continue.

Do not give up,
Giving up brings nothing but sadness,
Pain and depression.
Turn away from that path and follow through,
Follow the road to enlightenment and to happiness.

You will look back,
And you will understand.
Keep on marching,
For if you live in the past,
Then you will never experience the joy of the present,
Never appreciate what the future brings.

You must make decisions,
Don’t sacrifice your future,
To mourn your past.
For in time you will see,
That living that way,
Will not help you.

If you turn from life,
Then you will suffer a miserable existence.
Enjoy what you have now,
Look forward to what may come.
Take the bad with the good,
And take hold of your potential,
Great things await if you keep on moving forward.

Yes, Shaun's advice is awesome. But I wouldn't know about Jeffers. I've never taken advice from him, or really ever asked for it.
