The Wheel of Fate

The wheel of fate rarely turns in such a way, As it did when it made you decide to stay. It spun so fast it nearly broke, The day I saw you as not just another bloke. It nearly stopped altogether, As you slipped the ring on my finger to tether us forever. It turned on its axis in the blink of an eye, When you whispered "I love you" on a sigh. It froze solid when I thought I had lost you, And I cursed myself for being such a fool. It spun out of control the first time we made love, And we brought tears to the eyes of the doves. It went haywire and plummeted and fell, When it saw its angels on a path to hell. It seems it will never cease its wondrous tricks as long as we live, All we have to do is hang on...give all we have to give. I vote we give fate a hand, And hold each other's hearts by our golden bands. As long as fate is on our side we are all good, And I know you love me like no one else could. What I really can't wait to see, That will fill me with glee... Is when the wheel of fate explodes at the end of our days, And, excepting our love, everything else just fades away!
