Life Poems
|
The Winds Of Fate is one of those motivational life poems encouraging you to set your focus on a goal, and then to keep moving toward it come what may. There were will be problems along the way and critical people that will work to knock you off your path. Notice them, even acknowledge them, but believe in what your inner voice is saying and refocus on where your heart tells you to go.
The Winds Of Fate
One ship drives east and another drives west
With the selfsame winds that blow.
'Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales
Which tells us the way to go.
Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate,
As we voyage along through life:
'Tis the set of the soul
That decides its goal,
And not the calm or the strife.
~Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850 - 1919)
Wilcox was an American author and popular poet, often expressing her sentiments of cheer and optimism. Her best-known work was Poems of Passion, although she did write a series of books entitled "Poems of..." which featured Cheer, Experience, Optimism, Power, Progress, Purpose, and Sentiment. Shortly before her death, her autobiography--The Worlds and I--was published.
