if wishing doesn't make it so.

if wishing made it so,
then i would not be where it is that I am right now,
and where I am right now,
is not where I would thought that I would be,
when I was a younger man.
when I was a younger man,
the world was a much different place,
or I thought it to be a much different place,
and that all that i had to do was to work hard,
be fair,
and trust God for the rest,
that everything else would just work out.
as i have gotten older,
it seems that it doesn't always work out that way,
that it is a case of God having us just where He wants us,
​if we are willing to believe it.
