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

My two favoriate aprts are, "Each life is the ink in the ball point pen That flows from beginning and writes til the end" and "Each life is a tapestry of things we decide Our hopes and our dreams that have come alive " Very nice.

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