Come What May

Be ready for the futures that await; The battle really lost is that not fought: For no one is exempted from their fate. Whatever plans we chalk upon the slate Are easily erased, but still we ought Be ready for the futures that await. Some outcomes we are sure to execrate, Yet still we can’t escape what life has brought, For no one is exempted from their fate. And life demands that we participate: Those lessons profit most which come unsought. Be ready for the futures that await. No matter if the path is bent or straight, We can’t elude the net wherein we’re caught: For no one is exempted from their fate. We may object, rebel or agitate; But time, once passed, can never be unwrought. Be ready for the futures that await: For no one is exempted from their fate.
