to anticipate

To Anticipate

Do not expect anything and you will not
Be disappointed. What a dreadful advice
To give anyone who likes a party.

No listen up, expect a lot and work hard
To let it happens and if it doesn’t, don’t
You come crying on my shoulders;

It is life you see and we are leaves on
Mother tree, we can dream but in the end
We fall and get trampled in the mud;

And since you are a leaf amongst millions
Of other you can still expect to be a golden
One destined to be oak leaf on a uniform.
