These lives we find ourselves leading were not by simple chance. Each strives, but ends up bleeding, yet still carries on to dance. For life finds a way they say, and persists through grain and rock. As what we mind today may be the pain of taking stock. We take stock of the times we can’t explain away. We list things which have blessed us beyond our control. We have lived through doubt and dismay, knowing that simply living was the goal.
