Sonnet: You Can Change Your Fate Poem by Dr John Celes

Your fate on earth lies in your very hands;
You are the master of your destiny;
You choose the ways to live and in which lands;
The good you do is hill-sized or tiny.

God gives man freedom full, deciding things;
If asked, He gives him wisdom too and intellect;
Good God is fair alike to paupers, kings;
Life's direction, we on our own deflect.

Why curse the environs if things go wrong?
Why put the fault on brethren and the world?
Why blame your throat if voice fails for your song?
All cracks and holes in armour, we must weld!

Each man can change his fate for good or bad;
Just do your duty, rest God does, our Dad!
