If I survive this crisis…

If I survive this crisis

I’ll know and do better next time

Give up my self righteousness and vices

Pay down my debit and save every damn dime!

As the time passes, months feel like days

My path was once so certain, now it feels like a maze

Cognizant of my responsibilities, yet I fail almost every time 

To prepare, plan, and make forward progress 

On the gridiron of life, I lost thousands of yards behind scrimmage line!

To clear today’s hurdles and roadblocks 

I must be as ruthless as a crocodile and as cunning as a fox!

As tomorrow’s obstacles mutate, we no longer have immunity 

Even if I survive, what about others in our community?

The unhoused, sick, shut in elders, and impoverished youth?

Who don’t have the luxuries of time, money, and power learn the truth 

That life is a short but serious game, that most were born to lose

When I survive this crises, I promise to help others to win and choose!
