i was schooled to think it is my
inalienable right
to plan my life, both private and
professionalin advance; but now i learn a tune very different:
this planning is a privilege of only the privileged
sequence of events yesterday
forced me to forsake todaymy dreaming and working
to the end of tomorrow
today i’m left with that narrow way
a road with road less ahead found amongliving every day as it is my last
walking in faith with a sense of duty
plodding as though a great future
still lay before menow i think and act not for my sake
but for the new generation
my daughter’s, taking each day as
it comes without fear or any anxietythat is the spirit in which i now subsist
persuaded to live in my daily practice
but those who hold the key
do not make it easy for meto stay brave and move forward
yet i do since i’m already schooled
