Fate of Us

Time pushes forward far too quickly, your eyes will see the young get old.
The strong can become weak even as the timid can become the bold.
Love is lost, children our becoming adults before you see them grow.
Such are things only the passing of years are truly able to show.
Friends part ways and to each personal victories can be lost or won.
Sadly for the unfortunate few, to soon their days of fun are done.
For each destiny is picked by God himself no matter who you are.
You cannot change that, just as the date of your birth, or under which star.
Woe will surely come to those who must try hard to dodge Destiny’s date.
Is it worse if we miss it outright or worse if we get there too late.
To those who may run the wind raises up the raging tide of Fate’s sea.
Rushing in like a river, its current hurts most those who try to flea.
Its hold cannot be broken no more than you can swim out of quick sand.
When it eventually finds your proper shore is when you will land.
On the shore is shifting sand tracking your time wasted in thoughtless days.
Many labor in aimless distraction under moon-light and Sun’s rays.
Narrowly defining our lives as the sum of our occupation.
Why do we stop greeting the oncoming days with anticipation.
Do we even bother to get to know the person we live next to.
Cutting too short our interactions with just “hi” and “how do you do.”
We cannot neglect our final destiny, we must work hard to know.
A man bearing an hourglass reminds us soon it is time to go.
Across the countryside lots bear recording in stone of human cost.
Ambition might not be reached before life inevitably is lost.
