Fate or Chance?

Please indulge me as I now speculate,
about existence and heavenly light.
I often wonder if it’s chance or fate.

Biodiversity on Earth is great;
life so tenacious, survival the fight.
Please indulge me as I now speculate.

Vast is the universe with cosmic freight,
and its creation bespeaks of a might.
I often wonder it it’s chance or fate.

Power of spirit to so instigate,
that which is daytime and that which is night.
Please indulge me as I now speculate.

In the beginning was the starting date;
now we look up to incredible height.
I often wonder if it’s chance or fate.

Yet either way basic awe won’t abate,
because the cosmos appears to be right.
Please indulge me as I now speculate;
I often wonder if it’s chance or fate.
