John Hamilton Poet Rhyme

Fickle Fingers of Fate

Fickle fingers of fate

They say "good things come to those who wait"
but indecision leaves love dangling...
in the fickle fingers of fate.

Take control of your own destiny,
grab the bull by the horns...
and ride the back of what's meant to be.

Laura Breidenthal January 28, 2019 at 2:15 PM Inspiring one - absolutely love that ending line! Being decisive is tricky when one is faced with doubt and confusion--something I struggle with personally-- but it is necessary to make decisions, especially tougher ones regarding love, to move forward and meet our true destinies. Always, Laura John Hamilton January 28, 2019 at 4:31 PM Thanks Laura, appreciate the kind visit!

Carolyn Devonshire January 9, 2019 at 12:04 PM Some women will move on if a beau takes too long to express his feelings or propose marriage. Just happened with a cousin who got tired of waiting. Wasn't sure how many men would understand her feelings, but you do. Nice work, John! John Hamilton January 9, 2019 at 1:58 PM Thanks Carolyn, it's a simple little rhyme I've been saving to use in a song, but couldn't make it work so it ended up as this. Glad you liked it! J
