"Destiny"
by Patricia Finn Rapiejko
If three years ago you told me
This would be the story of my life
I'd have thought you were crazy.
First, I would laugh
And then we would cry.
Isn't it funny how Life is
A parade of surprise and grief?
It's all part of life's rich pageant.
You might think you know how
Your life is going to turn out.
You might have hope your plans that
The future is waiting to be fulfilled.
You might be afraid.
I felt like that once
…but trust me on this:
Don't waste your time.
The path was laid long ago.
Accept it.
Surrender.
You might as well.
No one escapes Destiny.
There are places and people waiting
To take you to places and people
You cannot imagine.
Be open to possibility.
Relish the ride.
Pray for rain.
Destiny is a cruel thing.
Sometimes she will bring you the world and then take it away again
So, be ready.
Realize what you have lost.
Cherish what you have.
I wish you good luck with Destiny,
But most of all I hope you enjoy the parade.
