What We've Got

We might all like a break

From the lives that we lead

But that change may not be

What we want or we need.

 

For there’s comfort as well

In the same old routine

And we may not be thrilled

With an alternate scene.

 

We can plan, we can hope,

We can wish, we can dream

Yet the future may not

Give us peaches and cream.

 

There are times that it’s best

To enjoy what we’ve got

Since to know what comes next

We most surely cannot.
