Fate holds no reason to frown at what Providence granted me.
My thanks remain uncountable. After long talks with my past
I now realize that life held a divine purpose, for shoving me into places
that were as changeable as the wind.
In between the floundering of then and now,
the eyes of fate were following me---watching,
always watching with narrowing glances.
Now, having given deep thought to life's offerings,
I realize that everything that happened, should have happened.
So my heart lifts praise to a smiling autum--
to those fallen years that no longer exist.
With this, and with no respite, I give thanks--
to each dawn,
to each night,
to all the falling and climbing that patiently carried me
through unpredictable wanderings.
Crowned in the confusion that hammered my journey,
One golden thing stood:
LOVE---serene LOVE.
Nothing could banish love from my wilderness.
