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! ~02/10/23 ~Contest: Writing Challenge "F" words ~Sponsor: Constance La France.
