On Course

In younger days, I often thought
About the future and my lot.
I wondered if my life would be
Composed of great longevity,
Or if I'd go within my prime
And be alloted little time.
Then I decided finally,
We can't avoid what is to be.
Each has a charted course to sail.
Though storms may lash us, make us quail,
If it is not our destiny
To sink into a raging sea,
Then we'll survive another day
And if God carries us away,
We will be in that perfect place
And meet our Maker, face to face!

Trillium -- I used to think like this, as well, and came to the same understanding.  You penned this so well!

Dear Betty Lou

I have been running away from the unenvitable all of my life.  But you are right: "We can't avoid what is to be."

Love Isobel ox
