PREDICTABLE LIFE....

If we could tell, what our future holds
Would we be happy, live a life bold
To fit our dreams, or would it confuse
Is it better to wait, unable to choose

Directions and steps, leading the way
No sad times allowed, only happy days
Surely boredom, would soon set in
A predictable life, could feel like a sin

Each day starts, with sunshine not rain
No need making plans, in a life of gain
Knowing how it ends, before it began
Accept without goals, nothing banned

Somehow I believe, it would never do
An actor on a stage, following cues
Just maybe our future, really must hold
Surprises to rattle, that give us a soul

Some days are better left to unfold by themselves - especially if something bad happens. I wouldn't want to know ahead of time as it would ruin the rest of your time worrying about what is coming. Not knowing is better. Same holds for good things as they will come as a pleasant surprise.

yes...godprincess....Kathy...the thought of being able to predict what I'd be doing in a years time, fills me with horror, give me the dreams and hopes, since I am a positive not negative thinker......and thanks for the comment...appreciated as always........Kathy applause

Ah yes so true. Life is an adventure I like to read a book page by page and not jump to the end,roll eyes so is life the same a book of adventures page by page good and bad.

Loved the poem applause

Hi Redex....thanks for your comment and thoughts......I had been chatting to a friend on the phone...and started to ponder. Living a safe life seems to take away some of life's spice......and you are right Redex......life is an adventure.....and decisions made can define the outcome, like the pages of a book unwrap the story........Kathy cheering

There are some pages we wish to change
but life can't be always the same
this is as good as it gets
back to the future ,past and present !
