Look at the light


You can try to make everything right
Travel the road, looking every direction
You can plan, work and predict
You can try your hardest and live the fullest
But, there is no control of what happens
Anything can happen at any time
Things can turn upside-down in a flip
Even when all you do is right and with effort
When the sun rises and things are ok,
be grateful in the moment for this rising
Step forward with trust and look at the light

Fate has a habit of ruining our best laid plans. Can't be helped. I can relate to this.
