Have You Ever Wondered About Destiny Poem by Jim Yerman

Have you ever wondered about destiny
and which of these is true?
Do we have free will,
are we controlled by fate
or is life an intermingling of the two?

Do we have as much choice as we like to think
as we travel through our day
or will what is destined to occur…somehow find a way?

Do we meet people by accident or is there a reason for our paths to cross?
Are we destined to feel the joy of love and suffer the sorrow of its loss?

Does fate affect us all differently?
Are we living our life as we choose to lead it?
For instance…
Was it my destiny to write this poem today…
and was it your destiny to read it?
