The Future Is Unknown Poem by Francis Duggan

The future it surely is the great unknown
And the seeds of it by some in the present sown
Even in tough financial times many survive somehow
The best you can do is make the most of the now
Seers claim they can look into the future but this i do doubt
And the now is all that is worth worrying about
Why stress yourself in worrying of what lay ahead
When you and me like all others will end up as dead
You may have lost most of the energy of your youthful elan
But the best you can do is live for as long as you can
Though of a glorious death the song makers do sing
The great gift of life is a wonderful thing
For the future is unknown despite what some may say
So do try for to make the most of your day.
