I found this in the house last night and liked it so much. “Joanna,” I asked, “would you like your poem to be published on the website”"

“Okay,” she said. Fortunately she did not demand higher compensation than the rest of us get.

Here is the poem:

Am I the Master of My Fate

Am I the master of my fate?
If I am, what should I do?
Should I make something anew
Or become famous and great?

What if I wander far astray
Where nobody is today
To nowhere, where no one dwells?

Or does fate master me?
Will I soon begin to see
That I might become a scoundrel
Will I be a mastermind
Of every kind
There is?
And all my goodness fall?

I wonder, will I be unwanted or great?
But the real question is, am I the master of my fate?

    This is very nice! I like how it has a pondering tone. Nice rhymes – not too corny, but flowing.
