LUCKY

there are some lucky moments
when the bills are paid
and you can take vacations

there are some lucky moments
when "the wife" ain't raggin' at you
and your car starts every morning
and your boss thinks you are a winner

there are some lucky moments
when your kids love you
instead of calling you a drunken asshole
and they somehow see your wisdom

there are some lucky moments
when you feel no pain
and the dreaded cancer ain't in you no more
and the sun looks good in the morning
and there are no more hangovers

there are some lucky moments
but mostly there is pain
'cause this life here on earth
has fewer lucky moments
than we make up in our brains

but maybe that is good
or maybe that is bad.
it depends on if you're lucky.
