For Suzy <br />Who gave me the title and suggested I write it. <br /> <br />Everything happens for a reason <br />when something in our lives <br />changes and we walk <br />a different road. <br />We don’t question <br />why we took a different route we just do it. <br /> <br />When I joined a western re-enactment group <br />and was called upon to play a priest. <br />Little did I know <br />that down the road a bit <br />I would be able <br />through my words of comfort <br />to help people in distant lands. <br /> <br />Nor did I realise <br />that a chance meeting <br />with an old classmate on the Internet <br />would take me in a new direction <br />and help me fulfil a lifelong dream. <br />Making me look to the future <br />out the depth of despair. <br /> <br />What is next? <br />I don’t really know, <br />only whatever happens <br />it will happen for a reason <br />and I won’t know <br />the reason just yet. <br /> <br />Therefore in every life <br />there are turning points, <br />a new road we must travel. <br />The reason for it <br />will remain a mystery <br />until we reach the answer, <br />as everything happens for a reason. <br /> <br />15 April 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/everything-happens-for-a-reason-6/
