an oldie Journey through life

Purpose~ Meaning~ Life is like water .. It flows to many places.. Rivers~ Canals~ Streams~ Always changing directions.. Not quite knowing.. Flowing~ Turning~ Changing~ Endlessly~ Until it ends where it is meant to be. Preordained it seems.. Are we created with choice in every way.. If all is preordained..? Have my decisions.. My choices Already been made? *If so..* *Than are we all not* *somehow enslaved?* Do we live in a paradox Of invisible chains? A puppet on strings.. Here for one reason One thing.. HIS thing.. Love is the purpose.. God is the way.. Choice is an illusion.. When all is preordained.. Your parents were picked before you were born.. Your life.. Your falls.. Your pain.. Your happiness.. All planned.. M e t i c u l o u s l y by our creators hand. Now I have to wonder.. Who is to say.. If I am here by choice.. or by what is preordained.. Am I truly free.. With invisible chains? Am I making life happen.. Or is life happening to me? Do I have any say .. *Is my life truly* free? Creator I ask.. For it is in your hands I long to be.. I only want to know.. If I am fighting my own destiny. Of a preordained life you planned just for me. I ask Please!**

Very holy, truthful, beautiful, intimate, passionate, courageous, and powerful. Your words were not that of a self willed heart, but a loving and submissive spirit. Thank you for the truthful questions in your poetry that cries out for the wisdom of God, and forces all of those who reads it to be honest with themselves. God bless you, and continue in excellency.

Life is full of though choices and many winding roads, one can only hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Very unique well-penned composition.

So Deeply intriguing, I read it several times drinking each word as if it were a strawberry daiquiri! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
My sincere compliments on a very well penned poem.

Best Wishes,
