God didn’t promise
The days be unencumbered,
Why should I dare hiss
And all my days are numbered.

God didn’t contend
Life forever to stay still,
How can I ascend
While my life in gear downhill.

God didn’t promise
The aging wouldn’t attack,
Why should I redress
The hairline that’s falling back.

God didn’t preset
Humans to go their way,
How can I forget,
For guidance, to always pray?
