There is a flow and pull to life

There is a flow and pull to life,
a drawing forward till,
we realise the days have drawn
us further than we knew.
Whatever hopes or plans we had,
are often left behind,
as Fate with tender urging,
takes our hand and leads us on.
We tell ourselves we plan
our lives and yet it is not true,
for it is Life which plans our path,
no matter what we do.
The only choice we get to make,
is not what comes to us,
but what we do with all that is;
how we respond and act.
There is a flow and pull to life,
a drawing forward till,
we realise the days have drawn
us into who we are.
