Fate Poem by Phil Soar

I guess when I began my life
I never really knew
How fate would line up things for me
That I would later do

My early years just flew on by
I don't remember much
No schoolyard pranks that caught my eye
No classroom teacher crush

I spent my hours in daydreams
I learned the alphabet
And now I stare at the screens a lot
And trawl the internet

So many things have changed and now
I search google for facts
I sit here with a furrowed brow
While my memory's intact

And sometime in the future
When fate will intervene
I'll wonder if I've missed the bits
That passed by in between

My kids tell me to watch my step
As they will choose my care
And stick me in a place call 'home'
And perhaps visit me there

However Fate chooses the way
And how it all might end
I know that since it started
Fate has always been a friend
