Owing good fortune not a dollar nor a penny
but only my thanks for the life I have to live.
Good fortune does not come with perfection,
but with sudden twists and long held misfortunes.
Those last come with lessons ~ not of paper and pen ~
but a strength of soul that
truly makes them good.
Good fortune’s lessons
can be a bigger challenge,
mere whispers that beg
the listener to attend and be grateful.
“It takes more strength of character
to withstand good fortune than bad,”
~ Francois de La Rochefoucauld, author
(1613 - 1680)
