Impact

Life is a game of chance
sometimes forbidden
far from reach.
Ignited...
but destined for doom.
   ~~~
Sometimes it dares you
 to step up and take
 all the winnings.
   ~~~
Sometimes the
attraction fades quickly
but sometimes...
fleeting moments can impact
changing an entire life.
   ~~~

Same to you and your family PD. I have also not spent a lot of time on my poetry this year. Seems it was a heck of a tough year for me. I am hoping 2016 will be better for everyone. Happy New Years. love phyl
