At times I grow, at times I shrink

and then I walk my path and think

“I know where life will now lead.”

It geminates, that tiny seed

and blossoms forth, bears fruit unknown;

“this isn’t what I thought I’d sown.”

so now when I greet a brand new day

I look around and guess which way

my life will take me; what’s in store.

Will it be different or just more.

The here and now is all that’s true;

all else is something old or new.

I wonder where I am tomorrow;

it will bring joy and maybe sorrow.
