Always, a Change of Plans

Always, a change of plans
   Interrupts my tranquil course -
Set forth by circumstances
   It appears, for the worse.

I resent it, I begrudge -
   It chips away at my mind -
Finally, I'm forced to oblige
   And surrender my time

But once by hushed words -
   I learned of a blessing:
What seemed a dreadful recourse
   Placed me in a better setting.

That's why when the Thief flees
   You shouldn't be too upset
For the Divine may be
   Watching out for your interest.
