Destiny

Destiny
Do you know where you are going to
Listen to your heart it will lead you through
Deep inside there is a queen
A beautiful woman that is unseen
Living a life that is full of pain
Your eyes are full of tears and strain
Dry your eyes be of good cheer
Your time is coming and it is near
You are a warrior full of courage
Life is not fair, so dont get discouraged
Love and happiness are cherished within
Your guardian angel is your friend
Wisdom, love, and happiness is all you need
Take these tokens as a seed
Plant them quickly in your soul
They will help you to become whole
They will help you you along the way
Don’t forget them when you pray
Destiny is knocking at your door
God loves you now and forever more

Funny our different reactions

The title made me not want to read it, I thought oh no, this will try too hard to be deep. It didn't and I get it's very sincere. Tish I think what bothers me about this is that I don't read poetry to get advice. I can get that from a Hallmark card or a church. I want visceral honesty, experience, elegant imagery and wordplay, even fun. Some of the deepest thoughts in poems on this site come from "barbsdad", and he seems to be having more fun than a kid in a candy store when he writes! check out his poems cheers, Jess
