Lucky Where It Counts

A mood of misfortune hovers over me.
The darkness that seems to grow.
Although, I am still lucky.
Lucky where it counts.
I’m here to fight another day.
No matter how hard it may be.
Although, I’m still lucky.
Lucky where it counts.
There are those who love me.
Love I sometimes cannot feel.
Although, I am still lucky.
Lucky where it counts.
Money found in the road.
A meal on the house.
A million tiny specks of luck.
All the luck in the world and I still don’t feel complete.
Although, I’m still lucky.
Lucky where it counts.
Luck shows me her face everyday.
Too deep in a rut to see.
Although, I am still lucky.
Lucky where it counts.
I stop and I see how much I have overcome.
Luck has made my road less bumpy.
Perhaps I will finally see the gifts she has given me.
I am very lucky.
Lucky where it counts.
