Destiny

Do you ever stop and wonder was this just meant to be
Things happen for a reason – do you agree with me?
How many times has your phone rung and you know who is making the call
It’s almost like telepathy - does this happen to us all?
Some things just can’t be explained I put it down to fate
But if you want to chase a dream grab it before it’s too late

Hi Tim. I used to look after an old lady in her 90's she used to say to me 'three things never come back, the spoken word, the sped arrow, and the neglected opportunity' wise wise words indeed. Just grab every chance at happiness Tim life is all too short. Hugs as ever Jan xxxx

Nice poem on destiny, Jan. the last line however, puts things into perspective. In the end, it's up to US how our dreams turn out.

Yes I agree Andrea. I'm very much of the view 'while you see a chance take it' and if you don't take advantage of the here and now you will probably never get the opportunity again. It's so easy to look back and have regrets for the things you should have done when you had the chance :-) Hugs as ever Jan xxxx
