Facing the future…



The future beckons



Calling at me



Bidding me come



Into what lies ahead





Show me what’s in store



I plead with her



For a little peek into more



Of what lies ahead





Blocking my view



She says “No!”



Life gives no preview



Of what lies ahead





Life only gives choices



Experience and wisdom



Together with resources



To face what lies ahead





So, certain of yesterday



Unsure of tomorrow



I stand in today



Wondering what lies ahead





Fear tries to tug me backwards



Caution says tread carefully



But curiosity pushes me forward



Towards what lies ahead





Aware of what I’ve accomplished



Desiring a better future



Knowing what can be achieved



I walk towards what lies ahead





Staying where I am is not an option



Neither is going back



So I proceed with caution



To face what lies ahead





I try to be confident



In the choices I make



Hoping I’ll have no regret



When I see what lies ahead





Try as we might



Who can tell what the future holds



No one has insight



Into what lies ahead





Some things I’ll never know in advance



And even those who love me



Must leave it to chance



For me to learn, whatever lies ahead





So armed with hope



And my faith in God



I step and grope



Into what lies ahead





Trusting that God is in control



And my life He holds



I cling to His invisible hand



And step into the future untold
