Fate is Real: A Poem in Reverse

Now read this poem backwards!

My kids must hate the fact that both of their parents are teachers.  I mean, there is no way they are going to get away with anything. And for the most part, all three of them have done well in school. Sometimes one of my kids will do something that astounds me. 

The other day I found something one of my daughters had written. It's a poem.  However, it's more than that. You see, if you read the poem in normal fashion you get one message. But if you read the poem backwards, you get another message.

I wanted to post the poem here on my blog so that others can enjoy it.

Fate is real.

Fate is imaginary.

Things don't happen for a reason.

Who would believe

Everything hinges on insignificant moments

I believe this...

You control nothing.

Do you really believe

All of this matters.

If only you could see

that life is careless.

How can you feel

there is hope.

You're just wasting your time,

Don't let them lie to you and say

You're meant to be happy.

Just wait and see

if you don't believe me
