Poem: Never Stop Moving Forward

Never Stop Moving Forward

When storms arrive with heavy hands,
And shadows stretch across your plans,
Remember this with steady grace:
Each step still holds a hopeful place.

The mountains rise, the rivers bend,
Yet every path still finds its end.
The strongest oak was once a seed
That simply chose to grow with need.

The road may twist, the nights grow long,
But courage hums a quiet song.
It whispers, “Stand. Begin once more.
There’s always something worth reaching for.”

Don’t fear the weight of yesterday,
Or let regret decide your way.
The dawn is waiting just ahead,
Where dreams awaken from what’s fled.

So lift your eyes beyond the fear,
Hold fast to all that brought you here.
With every heartbeat, every breath,
Outrun the doubts that speak of death.

For hope is not a fleeting light—
It’s born again through every fight.
No matter where your footsteps lead,
Never stop moving forward. Indeed.

Thank-you for reading.
