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
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 only call it fate and some folks call it chance,
While others just accept it as a 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.
