Miracle Man
October 19, 2020
My visage revealed the place life found me in,
the events weren’t kind to me that day.
The stock market crash caused many chagrin,
I should have been in cash but had chosen to stay.
Not being a fatalist I continued to invest,
Equating it to eating peaches without encountering a pit.
I’ve picked a few bad peaches since, but God has blessed,
The risk I’m willing to accept determines what I get.
Investing is like baseball,
Sometimes you hit home runs, other times you strike out,
And sooner or later you will do both.
Rewards seldom come without risk.
