you didn’t make your circumstance,
though some will say you did —
you have to deal with fate; and chance
won’t always let you bid
on better stakes — or better yet,
one chance to stop, and smile:
‘mid gentle things you long for that
could make you feel
worthwhile
You have to deal with fate; and chance won’t always let you bid. Wonderful line.
So one keeps a stiff upper lip and is grateful for every soft word of encouragement that floats by-Thanks as always for putting words to thoughts.
