Embracing The Future Poems
Published: October 2019
Looking to the future can be scary, but it can also be exciting. We are constantly presented with new opportunities. Let’s step out and take hold of those opportunities, even when we don't know how things will turn out.
Change is constant, and life is a journey. We don’t know what the future holds. Although there are bound to be tough things ahead, there are also going to be incredible moments that we could never have imagined.
Take a leap of faith. Set out to do something you’ve always wanted to do.
Look to the future with hope. There are amazing possibilities ahead. Don’t allow fear to hold you back, for a life filled with regrets of not chasing your dreams is a life filled with sorrow and bitterness. It's time to let go of the past and embrace what the future holds.
8 Poems About Accepting What The Future Holds

1. Finding Hope
in Hope Poems
I've always viewed life from the side lines,
Just watching it passing me by.
In the past, too afraid to just let go and live,
And lately too tired to try.
I've envied the people around me
So invested in living each day,
While I spent my time hiding out from the world
And searching for ways to escape.
For most of my life I truly believed
I was here to help somebody else,
But now it's so clear it was just an excuse.
To avoid living life for myself.
It's sad that our lives and the pain we endure
Can weaken our strength to move on,
But if we get lost in the scars of our past,
Without knowing our lives will be gone.
It's true, people are disappointing,
They can turn in the blink of an eye,
But we can't avoid hurting each other,
When we all want a chance at this life.
But there's something I've learned through the wisdom of age,
A truth about all of our lives,
And that is no matter what path we each take,
In the end, we just want to survive.
So the time has now come to conquer my fears
And to stand up and face a new day.
Let the hurts of my past wash away with my tears
And stop letting my life slip away.Featured Shared StoryI had been in the game of life, but too many times it has passed me by. With the few years I have left, I want to watch...watch my grandkids grow, watch the clouds go by, and watch my love grow.

2. Live In The Now
Look not back on yesterday
or what you have left behind.
For only today is yours to claim,
and this moment only is your time.
Fret not on what has been
or on what has passed you by.
Yesterday is far behind you.
You can't change it if you try.
New opportunities await you.
They come with each new day,
so look ahead with faith and hope,
and blessings will come your way.
Keep faith alive in your heart.
Live full and live well each day.
Do all the good for all you can
to all those who pass your way.
Yesterday is out of your reach
and tomorrow is not yours to claim.
Only this moment belongs to you.
So use it wisely, in Jesus' name.Featured Shared StoryVery easy read. Very good content. Advice I agree with. It can be hard for me to leave yesterday behind, but I can't relive it. So, I access it for what I did well and wrong. I try to learn...

3. All Because Of You
in Change Poems
My life is changing.
The life that I've had,
It's changing forever,
But no need to be sad.
It's time to move on,
Time to start anew.
I jumped from the nest.
With some trouble, I flew.
I might hit a few bumps,
Maybe made a wrong turn,
But all of those troubles
Are lessons I'll learn.
So as my life changes,
I hope that you'll see
It's you who I'll credit
For the life that I lead.

4. Circle Of Life
Life is a carousel, always going forward, never going back.
Existence is a hard thing to keep when you stop trying.
To live a life, you must want to live.
To want to live you must find a way.
When all hope is lost, you must stand tall.
When all others retreat, you must prevail.
You are the conscience inside your head.
You create your own destiny.
Life is a very hard thing to keep
When your life does not always go the way you plan.
Fight for your life and the right to keep dreaming.
If you feel you were gifted, share your gift.
If you feel you were cursed, fix it.
As you get older, your life becomes a challenge.
Who are you?
What do you want in life?
What will you be?
What is your purpose in life?
If you worry, these things will turn into burdens.
But if you hold on to them in the back of your mind,
All of the answers will come in time.
Life is a carousel, always going forward, never going back.
Look to the future, not to the past.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

5. Butterfly Wings
in Change Poems
We all need
some measure of comfort,
the safety of a cocoon,
But I remind myself
that change is good,
that I cannot spend
my whole life
being a caterpillar,
that courage
wears butterfly wings
and the sky has never looked
more inviting.
Featured Shared StoryGreat job. I really like it. Putting on our wings and taking another chance could be the very best thing for us.

6. Journey Of Life
Life is a long-distance journey
With ups and downs,
Twist and turns,
With sad and happy moments.
It begins with a single step.
Never become a coward in life;
Face the problems with strong determination,
With a smile on your lips.
Be brave and courageous in life.
Set your aim with a strong mindset.
Hope for the best and reach your goal.
Be an optimist and see the positive side of life.
Keep smiling.
Do not miss any opportunity.
Grab all those you get and move on the path of success,
As life is a long race that begins with a single step.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

7. The Ride
I don't know where this ride is taking me.
I don't know when to let go.
All I know is I'm in it for the journey
To give me more and more.
I chase dreams I don't yet know.
I try to be something I don't even know.
I look for things I cannot find.
I believe more in my heart than my mind.
I play for things that cannot be won,
I learn to fly before I run.
I make fire on what can't be burned.
I teach things that cannot be learned.
I don't know where this ride is taking me.
I don't know when to let go.
All I know is I'm in it for the journey
To give me more and more.Featured Shared StoryHonestly, this poem was pretty amazing. I loved all you had to say, honestly. It was short and cut to the chase. Things you already know, but no one dares to say. "I believe in my heart more...

8. Today's Walk
I will walk slowly through this day;
I leave what is not needed behind from yesterday.
I will treasure all the knowledge to move forward.
What I do today will not change or erase the past..
I move on knowing that today I will do differently than before.
If I fail, there will be another tomorrow and a future tomorrow for hope..Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!
