One There was only one, worm in the can. He was all alone but knew his fate was sealed. Born and bred to catch fish. Alive for a reason, and a purpose. Fate, to dance at the end of a line, and end his time on this earth. How? As breakfast, lunch, or even dinner. Sadly too small for any of the above, more than likely just a snack. Fate is fickle the man drops the can. The worm has been given a reprieve. Wiggle and giggle, he moves toward freedom, and a chance at living another day. The fisherman cheated out of his catch, by an accident. The worm, happy to have been given one final opportunity, out of a thousand... and joyous at his success in the end.

Many of us get that same chance. From the gaws of death, we return to life. We're given another chance. Take it and live long and love my friends. Bill
