Betrothed by fate to this uncertain life
One foot in front of foot we trudge ahead
Behind this veil of ignorance our rife
Anxiety breeds ungainly thoughts unsaid
Perplexed, we must resist such trepid fears
Lest we derive a life awash in tears.
"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." – Annie Dillard
Betrothed by fate to this uncertain life
One foot in front of foot we trudge ahead
Behind this veil of ignorance our rife
Anxiety breeds ungainly thoughts unsaid
Perplexed, we must resist such trepid fears
Lest we derive a life awash in tears.
