Don’t look for certainty in life

It’s a rare commodity

Will I do well at university?

Will I stay healthy for a long time?

Will my friends never leave?

The answer is maybe most of the time 

And what does one do with maybe? 

The uncertainty? 

Perhaps count one’s blessings

Take the right steps

And hope for the best

Then confront the challenges head on  when they come

This requires faith in oneself

Faith in the creator 

And the help of one’s friends 

Even answers that are negative teach us something
