Hand Of Fate

I am lucky
I have met my fate
but it questions me
if I can wait
I have no control
in this master plan
when I placed my soul
in fate’s hand

True to the core.  What fate is in store
for each of us?  Can we change it or has
it already been determined....just waiting
for the moment to arrive...  Another of
your thought provoking writes Helen...

No control indeed. You have put a lot of wisdom in these few lines, helen.

helen? methinks this is where "faith" comes in...and I KNOW...and know you know that I know, if y'know what I mean...um, nobody mentioned that marriage makes you drop at least 10 i.q. points---grin...

your poetry reminds me of flower petals falling in the wind...

(smiles) Oh Helen, this is lovely, sweet friend, I love this, I believe we all have some kind of fate but what we believe in also motivates us especially! (kiss on cheek) This is fabulous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

You succinctly express a popular feeling about Fate.  Personally, I think "fate" is malleable.

I agree with Bill....you needn't question Fate, just accept her gifts to you...this is exceptional, my friend!

Open the door and let your adventure begin!!!

Extremely nice.

I wrote a poem with some reference to fate
some of the lines are

What would I change in my life if I could
Wondering if I really should

Tempt the hand of fate and change what was meant to be
Would that be a selfish plea
Or maybe the change was meant to be

To know what the future holds for you and me
How do we change that which we cannot see

I often think that their are several fates depending on the menu of choices one might takes. However, the menu is limited so take your choice if you believe you have any...

Enjoyed this, thought provoking

This is beautiful, Helen and I also agree that Paul's response seems to fit it like a hand fitting into a glove.

Funny thing is, being the sassy, overanalyzing one that I am, I question fate all the time, though still knowing that I should just shut my mouth and let things be.
Wisely said, Helen!

Take care,
