Oh! Future!
The mysteries that you hold,
For the wait for you to unfold,
Hand on heart, truth be told,
Wrecks the present, junks the old.
Oh! Future!
The anxiety that you cause,
Injects that uncertain pause,
Discounts what is or what was,
Makes one a prey in fear’s claws.
Oh! Future!
Are you worth this much despair,
All these beliefs and fervent prayer,
Like ominous clouds that don’t clear,
The clinging on to what is dear.
Oh! Future!
I am going to practice letting go,
Trust myself and what I know,
Keep challenging the status quo,
Downstream or upstream I will row.
Oh! Future!
No matter what, I promise you this,
Bring me pain or bring me bliss,
I shall accept you hit or miss,
On this account I won’t be remiss.
