Anxious For Nothing

...life’s unpredictability is its gift

I wonder, I ponder, my heart skips

Sometimes I sit still, stop moving

Stuck in the same space, somewhere soothing

Because my fear of the unknown

Challenges my growth, my moving forward

What if it gets harder,

What if I get sadder

What if it's much worse than it is now

What if it's too good and doesn’t last

What if, what if, what if

I’ve learned, my experiences make me

And life’s unpredictability is its gift

Things are easier than in my fears

If only this can calm my skipping heart

Stop the screaming and the sitting still

So, I turn to my support

My stand, salvation, surrendering all

My fears, failures, and my future

Be anxious for nothing he says

So this time, I smile
