Fate
"If you can't change your fate, change your attitude."
~ Charles H Revson
Your heart was hearty
You held your hopes high
You were geared to go far
But hit a pothole instead
and got stuck with a flat –
It could have been worse;
Let it be, my dear
Fight fate no more.
You had a big appetite
You would only think big
What you got was but a morsel
A wee bit
Not to your heart’s content—
It could have been worse;
Let it be, my dear
Fight fate no more.
You were on cloud nine
But the sun broke through
and you landed on your rear
You are all bruised and hurt –
It could have been worse;
Let it be, my dear
Fight fate no more.
You spread love all around
You smiled and shared your joy
But someone broke your heart
Slighted you and made you cry –
It could have been worse;
Let it be, my dear
Fight fate no more.
You had your eyes set on spring,
Clear blue sky and balmy breeze,
But it’s fall – chilly, bare and gray,
And the winter’s waiting in the wings –
It could have been worse;
Let it be, my dear
Fight fate no more!
