Fate's Favor

Slowly sippin away,
Ignoring playmates,
Forgetting play dates,
"You could have it all,"
Then, years passed...
Guess Fate made me wait.

Slowly sippin away,
Present days blurred into dreams of yesterday;
Words slurred--head on collisions--
Too many ideas,
Can't speak in this condition;
The fear of deviating with tangents
As my ideas mutate,
Around the statement she made,
Replaying over and over again,
"You can have it all,"
Then, years passed...
Guess Fate made me wait.

No longer sippin...now I'm slippin away,
I see the sunrise, it's blinding,
A new light illuminates my pathway;
This narrow road is difficult,
And disappears with each step,
So there's no turning back
It's much easier to look up;
The way is much clearer
When I look out in the distance,
I see the end of the road and
What's right in front of me,
Like it was the back of my hand;
My heart opened up to the words as she said,
"You will have it all,"
Then, years passed...
I'm glad Fate made me wait.
