Decisions Made That Brought Destiny

Now coming to three score years and ten looking back on years now gone past decisions made that brought destiny then not knowing what would last In leaving school cut off from friends for I saw them as a bad influence then became very much a loner but later it proved good sense During early 20s found pen friends one in particular was Chicago Joan exchanged letters and tapes we spoke but never did meet, apart was grown Music became my forever friend tastes varied from Dory P to punk every week watched the OGWT whispering Bob sent me to bunk So often then pondered on life what's future hold for this me my stutter could be my Achilles heel but providence took me to a tree My God showed His eye was set to lead me back to His call since birth been sovereign care proving His destiny is never small Poetry has now come on home giving me words forever to own all of this impossible way back when Life seemed so eternally unknown (Dory P was the American singer-songwriter Dory Previn.) (OGWT was the late-night contemporary music show called 'Old Grey Whistle Test' on BBC2 compared by Bob Harris who was called whispering Bob because of his low soft sounding voice.)
