A Future Untold

I often hear many of those speak of what is to come Trying to predict an unforeseen future too far from Sometimes even forgetting these days of the present Holding back the fond memories of past years spent Of poor health these dreary minds struggle to cling To coming days still so unclear, what will life bring? A life I wish not to lead in a world as gloomy as this Day by day is my pace, sifting for moments of bliss I wake each morning with the same hopes as the last To end my day smiling; grateful to label as my past With a hope that tomorrow will follow with a laugh Keeping hold of me; known and loved as my better half Each day that passes is another stone I turn with pride A clean slate I start with, using the last day as a guide Not knowing what my future holds, I wait in serenity For a time of potential, one of a long waited amenity Embrace life for what it’s worth, many paths lie ahead The future is whatever you make it, the wise once said Build a foundation with the time you are granted today And a kingdom will rise; no longer leaving you astray
