My Destiny

My Destiny

Everyone has a purpose on this stage that we call life
Some may find fulfillment in being man and wife
Others choose to build a bridge or plan a city for the ages
Poets have a talent for words that sing between the pages
It's always been a mystery why the Good Lord put us here
Why do some men engender love while others denote fear?
Why do some men die for causes they hold dear?
I'm sure God had a plan when he put us here on earth
It was written in the stars from the moment of our birth
I think I know my destiny…I've felt it all the while
I know the Good Lord put me here
Just to make you smile!
