Precursors



Persons/things coming before others the same;
relatives, perhaps friends?: such are true lives!
Praying for loved ones: their happiness to claim;
asking who can say what life's lottery truly gives?

Who knows what is around corner? y' may think:
knowing that's not a new question, for millennia;
in time immemorial, ranging from years to blink!
However, life's what it is, & there is no panacea.

Reflectively meeting your days ~ Mother Nature,
accepting each issue... there's never favouritism;
your living is everything! please enjoy now/future?
naturally formed... and instinctively feeling truism!
