I Call It Fate
We like to think free will is ours. Indeed,
for most of us, it really seems that way!
We choose what shows to watch, what books to read,
our mates, and what we think and do and say!
We might feel free, but why so often are
the things we love the same things others hate?
It's almost like God wished us on a star!
And so I think our life is but our fate -
the circumstances we are born into -
our health; the wealth of our own family;
our culture and the things we’re taught are true;
emotions shown us; all we hear and see!
Your life -predestined- God already knows.
Perhaps “pre-mortal,” your own woes you chose!
