Barbarian at the Gate

I admit that it is true that there were times I was prepared,
Unwavering and full of hope, appropriately scared.
Nevertheless, I am grateful to have been many times delayed.
I would not give up my little seat, my waiting at the gate.
When the time comes for me to board and deplane, when I arrive,
When this old barbarian reaches his gate on the other side,
I wonder if I will be ready.
