Sweet Mystery

Sweet mystery

Our lives,

This path

Down which

We have been led,

Though control

Has been thrust upon us

We are still

Assured help,

Advice

And comfort

From a higher being,

Through him

Or those

He plants

In our lives

To guide us

In our daily chores.

Explore

The mystery

Of our lives

But don't go so far

As to ruin it.

Let the mystery

Remain so

For after all

The very definition of it

Is to be unknown

And not be ruined

By curiosity

Or human nature.

Accept

The uncontrollable,

Live life

Within the boundaries

Set out

For us,

And know

That whatever the circumstances,

This mystery

Is above all,

Sweet

And a gift

Bestowed

By one who loves us.
