Paul Hansford - Life (sonnet)

Living your life the way you want to go
is not that easy. Things don't turn out right,
never go just the way you wish they might.
Plan as you will, you never really know.

Some people seem to have that lucky streak,
enjoying what they really don't deserve.
Or is it luck? Perhaps they have more nerve,
enabling them to achieve what we still seek.

Don't you just wish sometimes you had the key
that let you do what you would like to do,
and find some luck intended just for you?
really to be where you would like to be?

Don't waste your time writing some master plan.
Spit in fate's eye, and grab life while you can.

Paul Hansford
