The Things Fate Does Do

She had been so lonely
He had been same for the longest time~
Both from different lifestyles
From different sides of town and railway line~
A friend had asked him if he would
Like to come one day on his yacht~
And this friend having a wife of his own
Asked her invite a friend she'd got~
The day arrived and the four of them
Set out upon a trip so grand~
Away out on an island cruise
So far away that day from land~
The weather it was beautiful
The ocean it was calm as could be~
And they all soaked up the sun
As they sailed across the sea~
Enjoying yes a drink or two
Time went by beneath blue sky
Two married two never had they met~
The two married they later went below
The other two stayed up top till sun was set~
The yacht had been sailing on it's own
As it was fixed to one direction~
away out there upon the ocean blue
No real need then for inspection~
When the married two they had returned
To the deck no one was there~
And search as they might have done
They could not find them anywhere~
It seems that the other two
Decided to go for a swim~
And the water looking ever so clear
The both of them dived in~
Before anyone had noticed
The yacht had simply sailed away~
And left these two to swim what seemed forever
So late within the light of day~
It came to be they saw an island
Not all that far to swim~
So off they went with all they had
Though the light was growing dim~
Next morning they realized there they were
Together laying upon the sand~
On a beach away and distant island in the sea
He first took her by the hand~
They came to know what had been it's so
And no sign of yacht to see~
So they made their way up the beach
Into the shade that be~
He end up building a hut of bark
And made a temporary home~
And these two now where alone and how
And very much upon their own~
There was coconuts and fruit about
And fire wood galore~
And a little spring that ran slow
All the way down to the shore~
After being there for a whole six months
They had survived so very well~
Away out upon the vastest ocean
And yes they lived to tell~
They had with love and blessings from above
Become so close with care~
And both now had indeed become one
with endless love and time to share~
If these two had not gone that day
It's a sure thing they would not have met~
The things fate does do in life
The plan for lifelong love was set~
