Uncertainties Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

Folding my clothes carefully
I pack my things and arrange them in my luggage
Apprehensive to face the next life’s chapter
Not knowing what lies ahead of this path I will thread.
Nor do I know what trail will I leave.
Will it be smooth or will it be rough.
or where and what winds of life will thrust my sail.

Uncertainties make us fearful
Uncertainties give us a feeling of dread
Not knowing what’s onward makes us quiver.
Life’s path we didn’t study in school.
knees shaking continue to tremble

Don’t give up if life still has something to give
an inspiration whisper to my sense.
Don’t succumb to depression.
Keep the faith and be hopeful
If the outcome is good then be grateful…
if the outcome is not what is expected then just serve it as a life lesson.
