I look up at the sky and wonder.
I wonder what tomorrow’ll bring.
Will clouds still be white?
Will the moon shine as bright?
Will there still be birds on the wing?
~
I wonder, will I be happy
Or sad, like so many I see.
It’s so hard to tell
my future as well,
I wonder what I’ll grow up to be.
~
It’s not so much that I worry
It’s more, I think, that I care.
So I look at the sky
Wondering why
And if … we’ll all learn how to share!

Great poem Penny. Tomorrow is and always will be a mystery. We never know what it will bring.

The not knowing is to be looked forward to with both eagerness and trepidation

and perhaps joyful anticipation or fear (covering both sides of the spectrum. LOL

Thanks LuAnn, it does look like I’m on a theme though, but I’m really not – as far as I know – lol!

You’re right it does look like it, but actually the photo is only a few years old! Somethings don’t change much do they!

AnElephantCant help but notice
Your little laddie is from an earlier era
He can tell by the clothes
But everyone knows
Not to worry Que sera sera
Great poem
