Are We Out of Step?

Life throws a googly now and then

We’re shaken and fail to stay zen

Ruffling feathers, Phoenix-fanned,

Fate does not deal a straight hand.

 

What uncertainties on Europe's stage!

History writes a startling page

In the book that is our lives

Full of upsets and surprise!

 

How easy for us to forget

That every life has holes in net

Where at times we tumble through

Confused and scared, but what’s to do?

 

Complacency is one such trap

Our so-called smooth road springs a crack

Which we have blithely quite ignored

So, when disaster strikes – we’re floored…

 

Hence my thought today is simply this

We must go carefully; we may miss

A pothole that lies straight ahead

Life’s a challenge – watch your tread!
