Coincidence

Have you ever wondered,

why you got the luck of the draw?

Just when you needed it,

the stars lined up in awe?

When you were in desperate straits,

on a highway straight to hell,

when a stranger happened by,

glad to help and make things well.

Have you ever been with nowhere to turn,

your expenses far exceeding what you earn,

and then by some miracle of fate,

miracle money arrives ‘for it's too late.

Life is fickle and sometimes it's unfair,

but you never know where kindness is,

if you never reach out, just out there,

where others may help a lot if you just ask.

Pride may keep you from what you need.

Ask for help. We all hurt. We all bleed.

For even when we are in the darkest places,

light may peek out from under four aces.

Keep the dirty side down and the sunny side up,

and something may save that dirty old truck.

It's seen better days, with worse to come,

given tender care, it will stay in the run.
