The Lucky One
Inspired by The Lucky One, starring the lovely Taylor Schilling and inimitable Zac Efron. A beautiful and moving story. Life is precious and amazing. Let's appreciate it.

The Lucky One

I was in a war zone, sweetheart
When I found your picture in the dirt
I became The Lucky One
Surviving every bullet and hurt
Like a Secret Talisman
Like a Guardian Angel sent from above
Your photograph kept me safe
Your Spirit kept me loved
Even though we hadn't met yet
Even though we were worlds apart
I carried my Gratitude for you each day
I carried it deep in my Heart
And when I returned to civilian life
I walked many miles to meet you
I wanted to thank you in person
But when we met, my words were muted
I couldn't bring myself to say them
I couldn't find the courage to share
Instead I worked for you
And appreciated the chance to care
Yes, there I found a Peace
Yes, there I found some Comfort
I melted my Fear and Isolation
I melted into your arms and pure Love
Our Love Story may not be perfect
But our Love Story is truly unique
And my Love for you is everlasting
It's a connection strong and deep
And one day when we're old and grey
And we look back on our lives
We can thank the lovely stars above
For urging our Souls to be inspired
