What Tomorrow Brings

The knowledge that tomorrow brings, You really want to know? And spoil forever the surprise, Of triple rainbow's glow! What if your life were scripted out Could be read like a book But never could be really fixed You want to take a look? And what if precognition brings News that a friend will pass, The sudden pain of looming loss Makes you feel like an ass. So knowing’s not enough it seems Without the pow’r to change, The future’s pow’r to disrupt lives Its power to estrange. Imagine now that you are God All power’s in your hand, The future’s every moment known And no response is banned. What happens now to man’s free-will If consequence is lost? If love is no more linked to pride Can that be worth the cost? If you as God remove man’s pain Where does life’s purpose lie, A rose that needs no sun or rain A lover with no sigh. Perhaps God’s plan is what should be? Put second guess aside. It might be worse, God could be me! Relax, enjoy the ride! Brian Johnston January 16, 2015

Very good pen Brian! I truly enjoyed reading your piece dear friend. Yes, life it is the way it is they say no pain no gain. Sadly most of the times is so and others is just a complete loss and just pain. A 7 from me! God bless you! Have a nice day! :) Love and hugs!xxxx D. ^O^
