Parallels   
 
Somewhere, in a parallel world,
My life has gone the way I’d wish -
Well lucky me, with a wink and a swish,
At least I made it somewhere !
 
Out there in a parallel world,
My work fulfils, my dreams bear fruit,
My wife is smart, my kids are cute,
And I really made it somewhere !
 
Statistic’ly, I must be me
So he can be what I cannot -
Ah well, at least he got a shot,
No need to be a hater.
 
So have your perfect life on me,
And make the most of happenstance,
The luck is yours, so grab your chance -
I’ll try and join you later.
