No man need fear his Destiny's bad course, <br />When challenges, he meets resolutely; <br />Defying it and hitting hard with force; <br />with prudent action, that is done timely. <br /> <br />Who cares about destiny's monstrous face, <br />If man can take refuge in God's Love-shield? <br />Why worry of Destiny's losing case, <br />When God gives grace and much wisdom to field. <br /> <br />You must refuse defeat in many things; <br />Just labour hard towards success by heart; <br />Yet, patiently take whatever life brings; <br />The Creator will surely do his part. <br /> <br /> No Destiny threatens a Lion-heart; <br /> Nor earthly wealth to Heaven do we cart.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-on-destiny/
