Some exercise, some eat healthy foods,
others pray or sing their way through. There
are those who look straight ahead before open-
ing doors or left then right before crossing the
street. There are no guarantees, my friends.
Your are still here because the Fates allowed
you passage through to your present place in
time. Surely, caution and advanced planning,
certain choices at the right moment may
have added days or years to your misery or
prosperity, but there are the many whose
good fortune ran out as they stepped off
the fateful curb into the speedy inevitability
of an early demise.
Face it, should you take another breath,
and see another season of leaves changing
before your eyes, I submit to you, from my
own perspective—praise be to a higher
power, guardian angels or plain old good
fortune, some of us are damn lucky to
see the light of another day alive.
