To Keep on Moving Is Life, to Stop Is the End of It —Poem
You determine, how far you go in life, nobody else.
—Author unknown
Sometimes the smallest step, ends up being the biggest step of your life.
—Author unknown.
To move is life, let nothing stop you.
Rising and falling,
Falling and rising,
Twists and turns,
Ups and downs,
Let nothing stop you,
Life means movement.
There will be bends and curves,
All along the path, and the way,
There will be steep, high walls,
Which you will have to climb,
There will be sharp curves,
Which you will have to walk along.
No one knows, what’s coming up,
All along the unknown way,
Pleasures and pains, joys and sorrows,
Will come and go, and come again,
The failures, will make us grow,
Big or small, It applies to all.
Stay strong and don’t stop,
Since it‘s all part of life,
To move is life, to stop is the end of it,
To learn, evolve and progress is life,
Go, venture into the unknown,
Succeed; Let nothing stop you.
When it hurts to move on, just remember the pain, you felt hanging on.

Life is about moving on, accepting challenges, and looking forward to what makes you stronger and more complete.

I love reading your work you are so intelligent, deep and insightful. Life indeed is a bumpy road, full of twists and turns, ups and downs. A person who has insight understands there are many seasons in life in which life is designed to help us grow. The key is...
1: Did you learn.
2: Did you grow..
3: Did you teach.

I am glad you liked the poem. I truly believe in, what I wanted to communicate here. One must try to complete their duties and responsibilities, as if there is no tomorrow. As we age, this feeling becomes more predominant, at least in my case.
