Around the Corner

Around the corner but just out of view
We'll see what the future holds for me and you
It may be great yes it may be grand 
It might be simple and quite bland

Around the corner but just out of view
What the future holds depends a lot on you
Will you be brave and overcome fear
Will you attack or stay in the rear

Around the corner but just out of view
The future is waiting to be written by you
Each life is the ink in the ball point pen
That flows from beginning and writes til the end

Around the corner but just out of view
Are decisions each make that effect quite a few
Each life is a tapestry of things we decide
Our hopes and our dreams that have come alive

Around the corner but just out of view
We'll face defeat and failure at least a time or two
It's how we handle the ups and the downs
That will determine if we have any crowns
Around the corner but just out of view

I like this quite a lot, also how each stanza is more serious than the previous one. Very well written, and good rhyming too.
