WHAT'S YOUR ATTITUDE?

WHAT'S YOUR ATTITUDE?
You pass your fifty years when sure
that life is long, but now you think
how will the twenty coming years
be fed with thoughts inside your mind?

Are you sure that they'll come and leave,
and you will share their passing trip?
How do you think of what may come
or do you close your eyes and ears?

Are there no anxious thoughts in you
or mere surrender is your state?
Is there a new place you will see?
What is your attitude to it?

What is the hope that you conceive?
Is there a cheerful word to give?
Does that deserve a previous thought?
Where does your muse stand from all that?
