Into our lives come many things
to break the dull routine,
The things we had not planned on
that happen unforeseen,
The unexpected little joys
that are scattered on our way,
Success we did not count on
or a rare, fulfilling day -
A catchy, lilting melody
that makes us want to dance,
A nameless exaltation
of enchantment and romance -
An unsought word of kindness,
a compliment or two
That sets the eyes to gleaming like crystal drops of dew -
The unplanned sudden meeting
that comes with sweet surprise
And lights the heart with happiness
like a rainbow in the skies...
Now some folks call it fickle fate
And some folks call it chance,
While others just accept it
as pleasant happenstance -
But no matter what you call it
it didn't come without design,
For all our lives are fashioned
by the Hand that is divine -
And every happy happening
and every lucky break
Are little gifts from God above
that are ours to freely take.
