Fate is a strange master
 Destined to take a hand
 Through glory and disaster
 Never knowing what is planned
 Angels are sent to guide
 Blind folk through the dark
 Buffeted by stormy ride
 Leaving emotive mark
 Oh, poor frail humanity
 Weeps loud for help from God
 Stripped naked of vanity
 But clothed by Church's rod
 Oft blames higher diety
 Whenever hurts befall
 Yet pats the back do we
 When luck gives us a call
 Strong are those who meet
 Kismet with good grace
 Just thank the Lord and greet
 Lifes' venture with smiling face.
