Serendipity

Serendipity: the faculty for making desirable discoveries by accident (Horace Walpole so named a faculty possessed by the heroes of a tale called The Three Princes of Serendip) – Webster’s

This is one of my favorite words, but how often does it happen?
Perhaps it happens to some people more often because they are looking for it. . .

Serendipity
By Elizabeth Kathryn Gerold-Miller

Fate ?
Fortune ?
Destiny ?
(She meets her true love one day.)

Good luck ?
Karma ?
Coincidence ?
(She finds the talents God has gifted her.)

Auspicious -
Providential -
Serendipitous -
(She grows a baby within.)

Knock at the door –
(Knock, knock. . .
Who is it?)
It shall be opened.

Seek –
(Eyes open wide,
unblinking)
And ye shall find.

Ask –
(I know I don’t deserve it,
but please)
And it shall be given.
