What is this life?

Is it ordained or fated

Or are we free within certain boundaries

So many years have passed

Since my Destiny* was foretold to me

And still I seem no nearer to fulfilling it

Or am I?

Life is so strange and contradictory

Always challenging us when we least expect it

And beckoning us along with more

Questions but few answers

Am I really free to break through this chain

Of fate or freewill

Or am I just living another illusion

Does destiny mean “It has been written”

And if so, when or how is this so

Is all this struggle to no avail

If all we have to do is trust

And let go and let God

Any why is it so easy

To read of others fate

Than it is to live and accept our own

Unless it’s a favourable prophecy

Oh what a tangled web we weave

Just in this one lifetime

Is it any wonder that karma always comes around

Not to haunt us, just to balance the account

So here I am

Ready to accept my Destiny

Whatever it may be from here on in

To serve and do God’s Will

From now to forever

For I do believe the weaver of Destiny

Has it all planned out

Well in advance of our birth

And we are each chosen

To play our small but vital part

In the royal road we walk

And fulfil our very own fate and Destiny!
