================&&&&&====================

It happened, that is clear

It happened, that I cannot deny

I've asked the obvious questions

Why me, why now?

As if I would wish it on another

Or welcome it better another time

================&&&&&====================

It happened to me

It happened now

Is there something I could have done better?

I may as well learn it now

The lesson is already paid for

Future ones may cost more

================&&&&&====================

It happened, regardless of my preference

It gave me no choice

Complaining won't change a thing

Apart from being a pain to me and others

A negative in the positives of life

================&&&&&====================

It happened, it is what it is

What will it mean to me?

That's the choice I make

What it does to me

Is in the power of my own hands

That, no one can take from me

================&&&&&====================

It happened, I'll just get on with it

To the praise Him in everything

Abounding therein with thanksgiving

Not moved by any happening

Full of peace beyond understanding

Established in Him forever

================&&&&&====================
