Lucky In Life
To be lucky in life, you’re qualified
If you have someone by your side –
A spouse, a parent, sib or friend,
Just one on whom you can depend.
You don’t need trappings tied to wealth,
(Though you’re in luck to have good health)
For fancy digs or costly clothes
Do not a lucky life expose.
But if you’re fortunate enough
To know when times are really rough
Of even just a little stressed
Your agita will be addressed,
You have to thank whatever fates
Have granted you such special mates.
Just knowing someone has your back
Makes up for anything you lack.
