Expiry Date

at times we wonder
about our fate
our destiny
our future

the days their number
what’s around the corner
our blissful ignorance
mingled with
fretful anxiety

we say we’d like to know
but could we handle it

best live day to day

Whoops, just deleted my comment by mistake! I wanted to say how at my age I often wonder and fret how and when, but then I pull myself together and get on with living my life whilst I can. You have expressed these feelings so well Line, putting into words what many of us are thinking. Kindest thoughts Ann xx

I've wondered if I would like to know when my 'date' is - but I guess I'm too much of a chicken to find out!

I know - There are pros and cons - the system is that way for a reason I guess.
