You never know what worse luck
Your bad luck has saved you from
Cormac McCarthy
He constantly complained about
Not having gotten a raise
Never realizing how close
He was from getting fired
Her husband was out of a job
And they were down on their luck
When she read about her
First boyfriend’s wife beating trial
He had missed the morning train
Arriving at the office late
Unaffected by the fire
That had cost three lives
When she was in the hospital
To have her broken arm fixed
They discovered a heart defect
Most likely saving her life
Too often we complain about
What we feel is our bad luck
Instead of being grateful
And happy that it isn’t worse
