Maker

Whatever will be,
Will be, the future
Is not ours to see.
Sounds fatalistic to me.
We shape the future
By envisioning
What we want,
By being a
Maker of
Things to come,
A lathe of God,
And when the
Future is as we hoped,
We call it coincidence.
History is chock full
Of coincidence that
Overturn simple
Common sense.
We may shape
What comes by
Preparation,
Planning,
Patience,
Persistence.
Luck like
Inspiration
Is 99%
Perspiration.
Fate never
Favors those
Who just
Sit and wait.
Persevere
Blythe
Spirit.
