If We Knew The Ending Of It

If we knew the ending of it,
As we proceed from the beginning.
Would it remain an adventure?
This life we would love to have satisfied,
Stripped of its mystery.
Where would we be if we knew,
Each step along the way.
It would be nice to have life laid out and paved,
Without an obstacle on it.
So it can be appreciated even less,
Than it is now!
If we knew the ending of it.
Like some who wait and sit...
Making excuses.
And wasting time to find that accepted.
To address with those of similar mindsets.
