What do you think this poem is about?

The Future

Is it true?
that the future is always bright
in the past
there was not much light

The future is ours to behold
but what I was told
in the future
you get old

The future will come
this is sure
yours and mine
one sec. at a time

Until the final curtain
our lives uncertain
what the future will bring
will be exciting

    The future IS bright, Dave. Our youth is a time of learning, and feeling our way round our world; age is the result of our youthful mistakes (hopefully) . Age brings wisdom, knowledge, ease with ourselves, and a rubbing-off of the rough edges. Oh yes, and grandchildren! !

    Love, Fran the Fan xx
