The Excitement of the Future

Me and my courage are sold

The excitement of the future

Helps me wake every day,

Knowing the possibilities

That are about to unfold.

**

The excitement of the future

Terrifies me in a way,

The challenges I’ll face

Have yet to be told.

**

The excitement of the future

Will see goodbyes to say,

The tears will fall

And the heartbreak will scold.

**

The excitement of the future

Will allow growth to come into play,

The new experiences

Will be absolute gold.

**

The excitement of the future

With Mother Nature on display,

The solitude, the time out,

The gifts I will hold.

**

The excitement of the future

Is mine today,

Nothing will stop me,

My courage and I are sold.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
