The Future Ahead

The Future Ahead

5/10/10

As I look ahead of me

At the path I must follow,

I quiver in my boots

And at times I just feel hollow.

The future looms ahead

And I have no idea what to do,

The sky looming forever onward,

So high and free and blue.

But free I am not,

I am trapped in this body,

As I clutch at random straws

Trying to avoid folly.

But then a cool breeze

Gently pushes its way forward,

I breathe a sigh of relief

As I start to move onward.

Finally a thought came to mind

Just as forth right as a creature,

There is one thing we must not be afraid of

And that thing is the future.

If you fear the future

Then you can never move on,

You will strive forever forward

As you try to get away from the dawn.
