Uncertain Times

Uncertain Times


I am not a preacher
Just a pilgrim on a path
Onward to whatever’s down this road
And I would never promise
That my way’s the one for you
Not knowing what it takes to ease your load

But may we both look back
From some distant better day
And with all respects paid all
We ever lost along the way
See the best in each other
In these uncertain times

I wasn’t born a winner
I have stumbled to this hill
And it is but another of its kind
We all got here from somewhere
We’ll get somewhere else from here
I may die climbing for what’s left to find

Or maybe from the top
Looking over what has been
With no way to go back
Only to begin again
See the best in what happened
In these uncertain times

Find the best in each other
In these uncertain times

(S. Beckwith)
