Anxious about life’s uncertainty

I tread “not knowing,” nervously

Anticipating future subverting me

My next will be worse, most certainly


Expecting life to be hurting me

I partnered with fear preserving me

So, with worry hyper-alerting me

My living became itsemergency

……………………………………………….

Scared by my dread perverting me

I awakened to hope deserting me

Defied my fright…and, turned to free

The man of faith, I was meant to be


Out with my dread…God purging me

I embraced uncertainty serving me

Ahead, unseen… I’ve learned to see

The course of life runs imperfectly


Armed with mystery affirming me

I needn’t know who I’ll emerge to be

And with unknown’s path asserting me

I trust my uncertain with certainty
