Chance or Choice
A love even fate couldn't predict

We are not stars aligned;
We carved our own constellations.
We drew maps across the divine
to make our hearts each other's destinations.
We are not pawns of fate;
We found destiny when we resisted chance.
We loved each other through the hate
and determined to give that second glance.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
