The Element Of Surprise

How can we plan; with any precision;
with destiny waiting to interfere;
can destiny supercede our decision;
does he even know we’re here?

Destiny is in the purview of the Master;
weighing what’s on our mind;
he can cause; or avoid any disaster;
often leaving us behind.

Destiny always keeps pride in his sight;
he enjoys stealing your thunder;
turning your dawn into darkest night;
kicking your pedestal out from under.

Some feel their success; on destiny relies;
tho destiny’s not ruled by our thought;
destiny controls the element of surprise;
bringing about, whatever we wrought.

Don’t count chickens before they’re hatched;
or so we’ve often been told;
our goals; with the Master; must be matched;
if we wish to grow old.

All well-laid plans; that we may surmise;
depend upon the Father’s will;
otherwise; destiny’s element of surprise;
might make the earth stand still.

Destiny is just one servant of the Master;
an angel, hidden in disguise;
given power to foment or avert disaster;
beware; the element of surprise.
