Letter from FUTURE

Hi dear friend!

With all lessons you’ve gleaned from the past,
Gather your courage and be ready to meet me.
Every morning I will bring you a gift;
A gift you will unfold in my absence.

Remember, you have no power to choose!
So you can’t have the best all the times.
Whatever I bring, accept with glee.
For this is the key to happiness.

There’s no best way to plan for me,
but failing to plan might cost you a lot!
Just sow your hope in me.
For now that’s all I have for you.

Letter to FUTURE

Hi dear FUTURE

May I have your attention?
Would you just let me hold your hands?
The hands that conceal every secret of life
I mean all the secrets about tomorrow.

Promise me you will answer my questions
How best can I plan for you?
Do you have any gifts for me?
If you have, what kind are they?

My mind is confused, but I’m eager to know
Almost every day, I think about you
I wish you were my friend, and I yours
Maybe you could tell me the secret of life.
