This Life

The way it is with me

This ....
the way I am
the way it is.
I've never said,
have never said,
'Why me?'
Things happen,
accidents happen,
things happen
we can't explain.

Just the way I am,
my way, my life.
To find a
reason, an answer,
Why, to what gain?

This life ....
it's just there,
just to live it,
day by day,
year by year

The sun, coffee,
a book, friends,
just to be alive.

the privilege of life

For a meaning,
a presence,
a connection
