Serendipity

As unforeseen events cause life’s path to derail,

Positive thinking provides strength in one’s darkest travail.

When expectation & outcome shatters our dreams to pieces,

Hope gives impetus to rise like a phoenix from the ashes.

If obsession turns to passion to achieve the elusive glory,

No force can hinder the culmination of a fairy tale story.

Perseverance and willpower might open a door of opportunity,

But it is sheer destiny that leads to serendipity.
