Luck of the Draw
Must have been kind to a little old lady
Or consoled a little boy who had fallen
Why else have I lived this very charmed life
Didn't know it was part of the bargain
I'm so very happy for my long joyful life
Could partly be due to my lifestyle
The happier we are, the less stress we have
Leads to days filled with big smiles
Not everyone's fortunate, some are sad
Their lives filled with torment and despair
How come I'm one of the lucky ones
Must be the luck of the draw I declare
Maybe I shouldn't even question these things
Let Mother Nature take her own course
Just be happy I'm alive and still kicking
And never consider the real source
