Complications
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

Wishful thinking is a habit

That I acquired years ago.

Don't take for granted that

Tomorrows answers are today.

 

Yet thinking in advance

With thoughts never expressed.

Have led to discoveries

We take for granted today.

 

I am no mystique, nor clairvoyant,

Just don't accept the obvious

As being the answer to complications

Presented in this life of ours.

IT'S CALLED THE MARVELOUS BLESSING OF ...'WISDOM'. I DON'T COUNT MY CHICKENS BEFORE MY EGGS HATCH...THAT JUST THE WAY IT IS. NO ROOM FOR GROSS BREAKDOWNS FROM COMPLICATIONS. JUST...SHED A FEW TEARS FOR WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN, ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES, KEEP THE FAITH AND...'PRESS ON'. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE TO DO? NOPE. THANKS FOR SHARING, MY FRIEND. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

We shape the future. In many ways we can make it happen when it's not wishful thinking. On the other hand, most can't change their future. It's locked in by circumstance.
