Destiny
In his heart a man plans his course but
the Lord determines his steps.
Proverbs 16:9
~~~~~~~
In our youth, you would agree,
We are emerging creeks,
Babbling with delight, as we journey wild and free;
Moving with the flow of life, our true nature we do seek,
A path to fulfill our apogee, our peak.
As time moves forward, a river we become,
Swiftly moving through the wilderness of life,
We tackle storms our plans could not perceive, and we succumb;
Accepting the times, we live with abject strife,
Through the rapids of disparity and rife.
Channeling our path, we follow without fear,
Widening our vision, carving out our legacy,
Deepening the riverbed, repenting souls can clear.
At the estuary of life, the river meets the sea of equity;
Looking out on the horizon, we shall meet our destiny.
