What Lies Ahead

Write like it's your last poem Sing like it's your last song Love like it's your very first love Kisses as sweet as a baby dove's Every morning, bounce out of bed Who can tell what lies ahead Weave through the day in a special way Be it sunny and bright or cloudy and gray Whatever you do, do it with joie d' vivre With power and passion, though not all fevered You've got your plans; the Creator has His When He lowers the curtain ~ That's show biz!

You're right... live like there's no tomorrow. I see there's still a little of Trumpilitiis out there. I'm a Canadian so I have no horse in this race but the current President has told some whoppers and no one calls him out. So much for a free and independent press. Stay frosty my friend.

Your title is misleading as I thought it pertained to Donald Trump . . . ..

Oh, it could apply to just about every President I've seen in my lifetime... Maybe, maybe, not Ford. 'Course, he was only in for two years. lol. ~ Careful for 'What Lies Ahead!!' lol.

I love the sunny outlook of this verse, Gershon. I am sunny by nature myself, so I can relate to it. A beautiful rhyme.
