The Luckiest

to my lucky charm,

I never believed in luck

Superstition was lost on me

Fate was something I never dabbled in

Karma never was my equalizer

The universe ran as it deemed fit

The most evidence of serendipity I'd ever found

Was in a cereal box

But even then there were never enough marshmallows

All that changed when you entered my part of this galaxy

So when I say

That despite my troubled past

My self destructive body

My failing organs

My fucked up brain

Every one of my many failures

Every unkind deed the universe has thrown at me


Despite

All of this

I am the luckiest


Because these things led me to you


I've never had a rabbit's foot

I've yet to find a four leaved clover

And I don't know what I did

For Karma to give you to me


But

My God

I am so glad that I did it
