Not Knowing

Being surprised can set you free There's nothing in your life that will be the same It's not knowing what's next that encourages me No one knows the "name of the game" and living life to the fullest becomes my aim. You live your life and enjoy it. While living in the unknown I refuse to quit.

Interesting thoughts put to pen. The unkown is very scary sometimes. God gives us the strength to make each day. Keep writing. Sara
