Analysis of Misty Veil
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
Through the misty veil
Of early morning,
A glimpse
Of the future
Comes into view.
A world of possibilities
And destiny
Unfolds before my eyes,
Revealing the paths
That lay ahead.
I can see the challenges
That are waiting for me,
The obstacles
That I have no choice
But to confront,
And the suffering
That will come my way.
But I am not afraid.
And still,
I'm afraid.
