Agenda Unknown Poem by Frederick Nellist

Life's adventure begins with an agenda unknown
Plot your own course there's no pathway shown
Give your heart free reign your body will follow
If you take a wrong turn there's always tomorrow.

Endeavour to find a right place and a right time
No room for compromise, ambition isn't a crime
Life lasts a life time it doesn't matter how brief
If something goes wrong you can turn a new leaf.

There'll be hurdles to climb, set backs and gloom
But if there are no showers flowers won't bloom
Find your purpose in life, then set out to prove
As well as rough times you can make life smooth.

Be not content to let yourself flow with the tide
Accepting and not giving means taking a free ride
Debate in your mind the real reason you're here
Be true to yourself and cherish values held dear.

If you make no effort in life there'll come a day
There will be a large bill you'll find hard to pay
So do your thing now, don't wait till you're old
Without any warm memories old age can be cold.
