The Guide to Life

Who knows what will happen,
From one day to the next?
A hope you've had comes true against all odds,
That last year had seemed vexed,

Your house burns down if you have one at all,
You win the lottery,
A gas line exploids just as you walk by,
You've been a captive, now you've been let free,

A loved one dies without any warning,
The things you wished you'd said,
An illness strikes you that you suspected,
But left unattended.
And in the end,
Life is both short and long,
The blip you are means naught in the grand schemes,
All that has weight's that you've not got it wrong.
