As I lay here all alone
On this dark and dreary night
I'm happy to be at home
And tucked up nice and tight 
I know I'm luckier than some
As I wish with all my might
That all my find a home
On this dark and dreary night....

Be wary
  be chary
Life's scary
  beware

O, faint-hearted one
  please reject this advice
Don't be afraid
  to roll the dice

Life comes around
  just once as they say
The more things you try
  the luckier your day...

Comfy cat did not watch the news.
Did not worry about robberies or home invasions.
Slept soundly through sirens, whistles and police chases.
Rolled around the bed in happy uninhibited ways.
Luckier than any human in history....

Many days
of the year
were so sad.

This day should
be the happiest
for us.

My roses are
all the promises
to come.

They aren't 
as precious as
real diamonds.

The flame of
this true passion
they feed.

No lover
is luckier 
than I am.

I remain
your sweetest
Valentine....

To my future love,
 one word is all I need 
too many are spoken falsely
 too many so sudden 
then fizzle to an end
Pity me 
from one to another
I shall only give 
when a man gives in return 
But alas 
the sky is luckier 
then I 
when the dark 
finds his beautiful sphere of love
His Wife...

Yes, I do have a black tie he said
He showed up with it stuck to his head
His wife was not classy
Her gown was quite trashy
They were escorted to the flower bed

The next couple was luckier than that
They brought along a dog and a cat
hidden in their coats
Were put onto tugboats
Tossed out to sea past the graveyard flat...

She was the bawdiest gal, they said.
Her eyes were green, her hair was red.
There were rumors of course
She rode nude on her pet horse
But we never knew her, for she was long dead.

You’re luckier for it, they told me.
She lived to be age eighty-three
She had a hankering 
For all kinds of pankering
She was my Great-Aunt Norma Bea...

Having everything you need,
  how much richer could you get

Feeling everything God given,
  how much luckier even yet

Knowing everything presented,
  how much smarter might you be

Your life shared with then another
  —how much joy could you foresee

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)

VISITING GRANDMA

At grandma’s house I am a queen
No luckier girl you’ve ever seen
I eat from willow plates so blue
And drink a coke or maybe two
She makes me tuna on nice bread
We sit together, napkins spread
She tells me stories, picks me flowers
These are my best and sweetest hours
I love her more than sun or moon
If I could sing-- she’d be my tune...

Next I turned my attention 
To all the outrageous violence
That takes place on this planet
The tears of the victims, no one can comfort
The iron grip of oppressors, no one to rescue
So I applaud the dead who are already dead instead of the living 
Who are still alive 
But luckier than the dead or the living
Is the person who has never been
Who has never seen the bad business that takes place on this earth...

Richer then poorest peasant more powerful then the wealthiest king. I consider myself luckier than anything. And, because of that I wouldn't trade any of my wonderful friends for anything. Through thick and thin they have been there through it all, never failing in their support. Giving guidance and advice wether it was welcome or not. So no matter the reason I would accept no else in the world but my wonderful friends....

Born to the best mom on this beautiful mother earth
I was little luckier then the rest
Simply successful school life
Followed by flourishing fun at college
Getting married to my mate from childhood
Filled my life with love and merriment
Working as a teacher who is favorite of all
Mother to two daughters who are now not too small
My story might seem like a joyride 
But trust me, it was full of jolts and jerks
