Leaving Comfort Behind
From a comfortable life we once led
Difficult decisions become ours to make
Do we stay where we are or do we move ahead?
The start of one dream may mean the end of another
There is anticipation but some sadness too
Even though our heart might ache for a while
That dream in our soul we have to pursue
We cannot pretend to know the future
Dreams and risk go hand in hand
But if we do not find courage and take a chance
Our destiny we will never command
The known offers advantages
You never have to worry where you are
But if you settle because you are afraid
You lose your wish on that shooting star

Post a CommentSo true! Also it's amazing how often people stay in UNcomfortable situations, too, just because they are familiar.
So creative and loving. Again, I'm happy I found your page!!!!!!!!
Aother awesome poem Donna. You write with such faith and creativity. Thank you.

Great message!
Amen to this sister. If you have read my last article, please do, I leave comfort back wayyyy behind and venture into some, even for me, scarry moments...trusting that God is always with me. Your message today is right on time, as always! Bless you. :-)
It is scary to leave our comfort zones sometimes, but necessary.
Great at the beginning and loved the ending.
Following our dreams isn't meant to be comfortable, but the rewards for the risk are often great!
Very good, Donna. Thanks.
That's really nice.
