FUNNY HOW

H. W. Bryce

 

Funny how the path we choose crumbles,

Funny how our choices shift.

Funny how fate overrules us

And funny how we survive despite.

 

It’s odd how we find the strength,

How odd we re-find our self.

It bewilders from whence the strength reborns,

It’s very odd how human that we are.

 

Sometimes when our plans butt heads

With Fate, who insists on intervening,

We sometimes change our course,

And things turn out all right. We are so human.

 

Being human is our strength, our salvation

From our weaker Self, from our fellow beings’

Flaws. Being human, for all its flaws, reveals

How human that we are. Funny how we survive despite.
