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!
