Sweet Serendipity

♦ Sadie Barandes ♦

Sweet serendipity, show me the way,

It’s simply your will at the end of the day.

Your pen on my pages, one at a time,

A dream or a dread at the drop of a dime.

Our fates and our failures will soon come to light,

So, while you wait, stay away from the night.

Sweet serendipity, all I can do

Is hide from the moon ‘til the darkness is through.

Don’t pull me in, serendipity, please,

I promise I won’t be too hard to appease.

If temptation calls, will you keep me away?

Protect me from things that may lead me astray?

Sweet serendipity, give me a sign,

I fear that my life may not ever be mine.

You bore and you raised me under the sun,

Please see that I’m safe when the night is all done.

Born to be early, raised to be late,

At the end of the day, all a product of fate.
