Life is a road we’ve never known,
Twisting and turning through lands unshown.
Bumps and fractures scar the way,
Each crossed junction asks us to stay or stray.
Like fragile boats on restless seas,
We’re rocked by waves of uncertainties.
Unsure where time and tide will place
Our trembling hearts, our hope, our space.
So will your dreams pull you through the night,
Or will fear convince you to forfeit the fight?
Don’t surrender to doubt or cold despair
Tomorrow waits, alive with answers yet to bear.
Refuse to drown in what might be,
For hope is bold, and possibility is free.
The future stirs, alive, untold,
Pregnant with wonders still to unfold.
