I never considered myself
lucky
with all life's scrapes and bruises
and regret
Then seeing her
body weak from disease
foot broken on the stairs
slipped in the shower
and out of food
all in one weekend
maybe I am lucky
after all

amazing! love this one. Simple, but with a powerful message. very reflective with good rhythm. it can be however more powerful though if instead of an unlucky person who slipped in the shower and broke her foot, to be someone poor, missing their legs and hungry every day. 'Body weak with disease' suggest that but when I read abt the shower, I had the image that she owns quite a nice apartment :)
