A Fate Unknown

It’s indeed a difficult question
how to foresee what’s gonna happen
only God knows; he’s the Author
his plan for each individual person.

  The world continues to recall
  God’s history with biblical migration;
  those triumphs and failures
  across life’s journey in human continuity.

Struggles and misfortunes,
in the throes of tests and trials
they stumbled and asked why?
so hard to rationalize in this way
that kept them going, kept in the game..

  It seemed they listened and welcomed
  their own share of sorrows, defeats 
  and reckon about God’s presence
  though many times it’s hard to understand
  but their faith led them to walk hand in hand.
