On A Wing And A Prayer

Destiny is a crap shoot
Caution thrown to the winds
and you are a winner or loser
in the game of chance

Odds predict disappointment
of an unknown outcome 
Yet life is lived in hope
on a wing and a prayer

      1. Thanks Tracy. Yes, I’m sorry I haven’t t been as visible on RDP lately. I’ve had a lot going on in the family and it’s taken so much of my time. I’m making a concerted effort to give myself some “me” time ☺️💕🌺

   1. Thanks Punam. It’s been sporadic I know. I respond to a lot on DVerse and then I run out of time 😕. Sometimes we gave dry spells as you know

      2. Thanks Punam. I find that D’Verse really challenges me and I like it a lot. I used to like photo prompts but I really prefer word prompts or even better, sentences!
