Destiny

So you think your life’s about choice;
you can choose to do what you do?
But destiny has his very own voice;
views life much different than you.

Sometimes we hurry throughout the day;
destiny has a much slower gait;
we always want to have our own way;
but destiny is willing to wait.

We often exhibit no sense of purpose;
while destiny is never devoid of plan;
our intent can be seen on the surface;
but destiny simply comes when he can.

Destiny often lurks round the bend;
as we, unwittingly pass by;
he generates events we can’t defend;
no matter how hard we try.

Destiny is purpose from a higher source;
much of it cannot be changed;
we oft attempt to go round it, of course;
then destiny becomes rearranged.

Much of destiny is meant to be;
it simply will take place;
the irony of destiny, regarding me,
is that much of it, I embrace.

As we meet challenges and strife;
and spend much time sacrificing;
destiny is the cake of our life;
we just provide it’s icing.
