Questions to Ask Fate
Questions to Ask Fate
Did fate decide upon your birth
in which direction winds would blow?
And when a road comes to a bend
to right or left, which way to go?
Do your life choices play a part
in what the future has in store?
Will suddenly odds take a turn
if you walk through unopened door?
Have all your days been figured out?
Has road before you been pre-planned?
Is it your mission to proceed
without a guide map in your hand?
Can you affect the quantity
of servings dished upon your plate?
As you sail into open seas
can you maneuver winds of fate?
Will you hang on to reins of life
while you defend your right of choice?
Should you hum silently your song
or speak with passion in your voice?
Did fate decide so long ago
how circumstances would arrange?
If you dare challenge Nature’s way
can hands of destiny you change?
