Exciting Uncertainty

I love to walk upon the path of life Each day a new adventure to behold. Wake at dawn to greet the sun at rise Stretch out my arms, a new day to embrace. What will transpire through each passing hour? With every breath, I do enjoy this time, Not waste a precious second in regret Instead, stride forth each moment I will seize. With every step my footprints leave behind A mark to signify where I have been. Reminding those who come across my path That I have also walked upon this earth. To smell the sweet perfume sent out in spring And let the summer sun warm up my soul. I’ll clutch the autumn leaves upon the ground Before the winter’s chill my fingers seek. Bright starry night brings peaceful offerings Reflective wonders canopy this earth, Tranquility and calm these gifts supreme Be mine to claim a thankful recompense. The dawn escapes through night-time’s cloak of black To bring her lighted beacon to our sight, No one will know where destiny may lead Uncertainty forever will prevail. How quickly time escapes our clutching hands Before we must transcend to where we came. But I’ll embrace each moment like the last Be never wasteful; make each second count.
