The fortune cookie said
I could be what I want
But it didn’t say when

Before I get that break
I’ll just make
My own luck till then

Persistence on my part
Is necessary to what
I‘ve been doing with
My life so far

Fortunes are fine
Especially the kind
That make you think

They can just be fun
But this was one
That inspired me

An unexpected start
That would lead  to what
I’ve been doing with
My life so far

What’s more human
To want to be something else
I take my chances
To reinvent myself

Thru everything I’ve been
So determined to spend
The time given to me
To choose carefully
My path so far
That’s how I got this far

I’ve come to know
That the future holds
Not only dreams

And along the way
Life doesn’t have to just
Happen to me

I get to do my part
It’s fundamental to what
I’ve been doing with
My life so far
 
What’s more human
To try to be something else
As long as I’m living
While I can I might as well

I’ve come so far
In my life so far

Life So Far

My Life So Far

Detroit summers on our block: shouts, friendly and otherwise, kids’ street games and music – always music.

Ten Buck Luck

Porches

Most of our luck has snuck up on us, and some has been patient. Years ago my wife gave me a ten dollar guitar. After half a lifetime I found it again.
