Fate

My graduation came and went
was time to leave my home
The whole world lay in front of me
so much I wish I'd known

I set my course for wealth and fame

my compass tried and true

I never factored fate at all

It brought me straight to you

The deviation from my course

a blessing in disguise

I almost missed the treasure trove

the hesitation wise

So many blessings came my way

as if they had no choice

Someone was watching  over me

a life time I've rejoiced

I never reached those lofty goals

instead I found much more

A wife who made my life complete

and children we adore
