Challenges come in many guises
The unexpected spawns surprises:
The false note in life’s merry song
A step misplaced makes fear’s grip strong…
Predictions – are just that – unknown;
Some nasty bug may trot along,
Or scary circumstance brand-new
May leave us frightened, shocked or blue.
Our confidence takes a hard knock
Confusion hits us – we take stock;
We feel at sea, or inner ear
Plays up - so
life becomes a blur …
Doubts plague us all from time to time
A personal dark cloud dulls our shine
The Universe makes us annoyed;
But all get anxious, dixit Freud!*
Of course, we know life isn’t smooth
We have to fight on and improve!
We run this gauntlet all our lives;
Thank goodness Folks, that Hope survives!
