The fickle fingers of fate befalls us <br />everyday of our lives. <br />Sometimes it brings us happiness, <br />other times it brings us misery. <br />Sometimes it brings us love, <br />other times it breaks our heart. <br />The fickle fingers of fate befalls us <br />in everything we do. <br />Our actions are governed <br />by its fickle fingers <br />day and night <br />in what we do and say. <br />Its waywardness leads us <br />down roads we should not go <br />or to mountains too high to climb. <br />It can lead us to valleys <br />where tranquillity lay <br />and to lives peaceful. <br />The fickle fingers of fate <br />will lead us as it may, <br />making up decisions right or wrong. <br />We are its puppet on a string <br />as the fickle fingers of fate controls <br />our destiny come what may. <br /> <br />30 August 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fickle-fingers-of-fate/
