Notes About The Poem
MISSION means an operation [journey] that is assigned by a higher headquarters [God].

Get Ready

Get ready my friend for the journey ahead,
The road will be tricky and twisted with turns;
On life's winding path we're often misled.

The mission is won with tears that we shed,
May every defeat be quickly adjourned;
Get ready my friend for the journey ahead.

Do not be afraid in your soul there is said 
The strength to endure whatever is churned;
On life's winding path we're often misled.

Life is a tapis where future is thread,
Its pattern mere mortals can never discern;
Get ready my friend for the journey ahead,

The path is unknown and not easily tred,
With every misstep the lessons are learned;
On life's winding path we're often misled.

May hope before us ever be spread,
May tables be set with sweetest sauterne; 
Get ready my friend for the journey ahead,

Often we travel with God's blessing of bread,
Sometimes with a curse from the devil's own urn;
Get ready my friend for the journey ahead,
On life's winding path we're often misled.
