Pam Deremer Poet I do not know?

Sometimes Things Just Happen

The accident happened...
there's no going back.

Your life it all changed...
at the drop of a hat.

If I'd only chose different...
you frequently say.
Do you think it would have made
for a much better day?

Yes things might have been better...
but then maybe not.

You could have been sailing on 
someones big yacht...
been way out at sea.
When there started a fire...
I think you'd agree that it would have been more dire.

You could have been home...
doing nothing at all...
tripped over the cat...
and took a bad fall.

Sometimes things just happen...
and there's no real blame...
to try and find cause...
will only drive you insane!
