The Fateful Needle
A fateful needle guides the fate of man
Wavering in place at all the turns of his life
Then plunging into the path that he has planned
Wetting threads to weave into a map of strife
A segmented line leading to journey’s end
Changing direction now and again
Always careful never to offend
The hand that guides the needle in
The ruffled oceans and wrinkled lands
That man may view before he falls
All placed carefully in the seamstresses’ hands
As to the last of his days he crawls
North, south, east, west
Ever choosing new directions
Hoping he always acts his best
Tracing over all the patched sections
A withered hand shall cut the thread
Sending the man to eternity’s breast
Where all the living, soon to be dead
Are by that needle cursed or blessed
