Destination Known

Destiny favors a measure of intelligence
and we do have control of it
we should rename our path with benevolence
grip the handle with a tight fit
don't let loose for it is our fate we are handling
there are many places we can flow
but mostly appreciate we're not stranded wrangling
for it is the path we show
grasping at our flaws will engage us nowhere
realize we're all perfectly made
there's no limit to what we can do elsewhere
or wherever we have stayed
people can assist us along to find this
or they can be in the way
select that deal wisely without miss
and forever will never stray

Wise words wrapped in positivity, Angela. Self-belief, education and heeding sound advice are important if we are to make a success of our life. ~ Regards // paul

Thoughtful dialogue, Angela. We certainly control in some ways where we are headed.

I think we have some control of our destination, but not fully.. It is all about the decisions we make, and sometimes they can go either way... I always enjoy your thoughtful poems...

We cannot control destiny but we can make it better. A profound poem that requires a measure of appeasement. ~~
