When you ride the winds of chance, <br />They'll take you where you would not stay, <br />Where no friends are; a happenstance- <br />Where no one seems to know the way. <br /> <br />When you ride the tails of fate, <br />You'll go where all have gone before, <br />And you'll find the hour's late- <br />And the guard has locked the door. <br /> <br />Better walk, than ride aboard <br />A thing that has no heart, no brain; <br />And never have to call as lord <br />The ready symptom of your pain.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-you-ride-the-winds-of-chance/
