Future's Path


"The future depends on what you do today." 
                                 - Mahatma Gandhi

The future's made from stepping stones
well placed with every morning sky.
Each new tomorrow meets unknowns
in how they're shaped and how they lie.

And each tomorrow follows plans
of how and where the pathway leads;
designed by heart and soul that hands
direction for its wants and needs.

Yesterday, today, tomorrow-
are linked in meeting that huge goal.
Good or bad, each joy and sorrow
is bound together as a whole.

One stone each day- there's no escape
to help our future grow and shape.
