The forest is pregnant with uncertainties.<\/p>\n
Each time I wade into its gripping darkness,<\/p>\n
I think of the snakes, leopards,<\/p>\n
And all the other creatures in the wild<\/p>\n
That strikes fear in our minds…<\/p>\n
The forest is pregnant with uncertainties<\/p>\n
But uncertainties are not always of the frightful.<\/p>\n
Some good do come out of uncertainties<\/p>\n
Like the joy that comes after nine months of pregnancy.<\/p>\n
Each time I step into the woods,<\/p>\n
I remind myself ,<\/p>\n
I have promises to keep…<\/p>\n
There is salvation in the forest,<\/p>\n
And knowledge is like a deep forest<\/p>\n
That can hardly be fully explored.<\/p>\n
Each time I wade into the forest<\/p>\n
I hope to emerge with the promise of a better life,<\/p>\n
I hope to discover that great treasure<\/p>\n
Which I promised my father<\/p>\n
To find and use to fend the next generation<\/p>\n
And give them the life of bliss<\/p>\n
That I never had.<\/p>\n
Though the forest is pregnant with uncertainties,<\/p>\n
But I have promises to keep.<\/p>\n
