Your fate on earth lies in your very hands; <br />You are the master of your destiny; <br />You choose the ways to live and in which lands; <br />The good you do is hill-sized or tiny. <br /> <br />God gives man freedom full, deciding things; <br />If asked, He gives him wisdom too and intellect; <br />Good God is fair alike to paupers, kings; <br />Life's direction, we on our own deflect. <br /> <br />Why curse the environs if things go wrong? <br />Why put the fault on brethren and the world? <br />Why blame your throat if voice fails for your song? <br />All cracks and holes in armour, we must weld! <br /> <br />Each man can change his fate for good or bad; <br />Just do your duty, rest God does, our Dad! <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 21-06-2014<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-you-can-change-your-fate/
