Like others, I have often thought
How simple life would be?
If I woke up some day to find
I’d won the lottery…
Not money…..but luck
Debts that haunt from days gone by
Erased within a day
Unencumbered, my new life
Could now start on its way?
Fulfilling dreams long hid away
No hindrances to find
Thoughts of worry and regret
Erased now from my mind
Traveling, when I felt the urge
Exploring varied places
Helping friends and bringing smiles
To many different faces
Would my values be the same?
And just my life lived easier
Or would the freedoms newly gained
…make life a little sleazier?
Could I still appreciate
The wonder nature brings?
Or would my heart leap only when
The cash register rings?
Those with money seem to live
A life that’s never-ending
They rarely get much peace of mind
For all the cash they are spending
Their friendships although many
Rarely stand the test of time
As each one seeks their future
In this ladder I can climb
Those who often have the most
Complain and moan and groan
Sometimes it’s just a cry to say
I am scared and all alone...
I guess to win the lottery
Will always be a dream
But winning luck and living life are
…both harder than they seem.
Just like wandering among the poppy fields,
Looking for an orchid....
