Are Our Lives Written In The Stars

Are our lives written in the stars above?
My fancy is that this is indeed so.
Maps of honour, duty, sorrow and love,
Where we will travel, where we will go.

Are we somehow less that we do not choose?
Just a tune played by a heavenly band.
Can we really win, do we always lose?
If we are directed by another’s hand?

Where then is my valour if it be staged?
Can a deed be good if done by design?
What is love worth if it be arranged?
To be taken if the stars so align.

Hence, do not think love can keep Fate at bay,
She will let us love but not let us stay.
