Destiny Poem by Colleen Wright

As I weave through this early Spring day
many thought pass through my active mind,
of some I'd like to write to you and do say,
'I hope my appreciation in words you'll find'

Of your giving openness and honesty – I love
Of the patience and caring from you – I love
Of your time, understanding and giving – I love
Of your actions and not feeble words – I love.

A unique friendship in a short time we've formed,
of old and sad stories we've shared and mourned.
So many hilarious happenings we've told
some were beautiful, and some were bold.

Of our individual dreams - of where in time we aim.
Strange or will of God? They do seem to be the same.
So idyllic a life to want – is it too much to ask?
Is it how our creator hoped we'd begin – and last?

Each person is separate – a masterpiece of nature.
Too often two together form an unhappy picture
Too rarely it seems one does find the other half -
to meld together – to enjoy sunshine and to laugh.

Oh, to find the 'right' person and to walk hand in hand
to love, laugh, cry - to share happily and to understand.
For each other wanting 'to be there' and 'to give'
and 'till death do us part' – the motto we will live.

Meanwhile, until that great day does arrive,
with God and wonderful friends and I thrive.
For you and I – what tomorrow will bring
we know naught – really, not a single thing.

We do not always receive that of which we plan
but in retrospect, often we see why – not in our hand.
So let us wait and accept what our destiny is to be
we cannot know of – or into the future predict or see.
