Unfulfilled Dreams

The best laid plans of mice and men.
Are often foiled by circumstance.
Undaunted though we try again.
We are convinced there is a chance.

That things will change and re arrange.
So in due course will succeed.
Although I find it passing strange.
That circumstances can impede.

The plans we made so carefully.
There's nothing we can do but wait.
As best we can; impatiently.
It all depends on fickle fate.
