To Walk Out Your Door

It takes uncertainty, I know to walk out your door and walk through another that’s not yours Of course, there’s too a course that other, unfamiliar, shoes use There are signs and there are signs not always along the way There is opportunity there is stop’n wait’n see choices others can’t make You’ll find too, things that go wrong. . . far from the right Afternoon. . . turns to morning. . . skips to night There is certain to be a promise. . . a goal. . . a loss and love’s. . . not yet in the toss Advice listened, taken and given Too few things, too many things. . . you’ll come to know It takes certainty to walk out your door

Gerry, how true that it "takes uncertainty...to walk out your door." I see two sides to your writing, the literal translation and the implied. This excellent verse certainly sums up the trepidation we face whenever we have to make choices or embark on a new path. Thanks for reading "I See Tomorrow as Morning." I will surely be reading more of your work. Great job! Carolyn
