There are things I cannot change And some I'd never try Things that are unexplainable So we keep wond'ring why Life doesn't always go According to our plans Maybe it's the hand of Fate Making her demands < !signature--> All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep [This message has been edited by Jeffrey Carter (edited 06-25-2000).] |

You're right Jeffrey, some things we can never change. That doesn't make fate any less a pain in the (uhmmm) neck though! Good poem... you make your point well. Eric. "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |

Great poem Jeffrey. Fate is funny at times. Never know where you will end up. Those demands cannot be ignored...ever. Nice writing.  LW Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

Jeff - I really liked this piece. I am always partial to poets who don't waste words. This is concise and to the point and I love it. This is an excellent poem. I am quickly becoming a big fan of your work! --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |

Jeffrey, a poem as distinctive as this surely needs a title. Wonderful writing! ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Jeffery, Nicely done ! In my opinion , this poem ( in it's brevity ) says more than quite a few that I've read ( or penned ). Doc |

Very well done Jeff. Fate has cards it never wants to show. We just have to play the cards we're dealt. Marina It is blessing to have wings for your words, and passion to flow from pen. Marina Crossley |
