The Changeable Bit of Life

Sometimes when I look at life
It really makes me think
Especially when two souls are filled with rife
It’s so sad when one can’t see the link
Between the preordained and the changeable

Sometimes when I consider love
As a simple decision to love
I can’t help myself from finding out
That it is full of predestined forces through out
It is our gentle duty to hold on to the changeable bit 

Sometimes when I observe myself
I can clearly see the plenteous lessons
Left for me to master all by myself 
From the previous day’s failed lessons
Just for trying to make the preordained otherwise

Sometimes we as humans  don’t need to struggle
Just to love and to be loved
If we will decide not to fumble
We will understand that even before life we were loved
By someone who wants us to hold on to our changeable bit
And leave the complex rest to fate.
