Chance

Life, itself, seems but merely chance.
As it consumes each day when done.
We seldom pause for second glance.
Life, itself, seems but merely chance.
But, then we pause and look askance,
and wish more wisely it was spun.
Life, itself, seems but merely chance.
As it consumes each day when done.

yes, how we end up does seem like chance. Also it's how we deal with our life, but ultimately a lot of it is truly down to chance. Happy New Year to you, Ann
