Destiny Or Choice - Repost

Destiny shines when choice is made,
The two are one within Love's shade.
Does destiny make our choices true?
Taking control, my choice is you, 
Living our choices, not afraid.

For Destiny is not betrayed,
The facts before us they are layed,
Destiny I do follow through,
Destiny Shines.

Destiny has called, I have stayed,
Many wrong choices I have made,
Yet destiny has seen me through,
Destiny I believe in you.
Destiny, choice, at mind's door layed,
Destiny shines.

I think that this is truly profound, Mike. It can be read and pondered again and again... Why not enter it in Silent One's "Food for Thought" poetry contest? Seems to me that this would do quite well...All the best, Gershon
