Invisibles<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No, we do not walk alone<\/p>\n
There are invisibles walking with us<\/p>\n
Friends or foes, they\u2019re there —they really are<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re spared from the jaws of death<\/p>\n
You\u2019re only a hairline from its snap<\/p>\n
And the snare fails to have you trapped<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you fail to show up for a flight<\/p>\n
The flight you\u2019ve spent days waiting for.<\/p>\n
You may or may not be sick<\/p>\n
Yet you miss the flight, not by your own choice<\/p>\n
You stress until you hear the demise of the quick machine<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re home and have no reason<\/p>\n
Or intension to be out<\/p>\n
Until you find a reason to drive around<\/p>\n
Or pick from the store that which you really need not<\/p>\n
And it becomes \u201cHad I known I would have stayed still this day\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How do you go from saying farewell to a loved one<\/p>\n
And therein find the one to soothe your pain<\/p>\n
Coincidence \u2013no, no, think again<\/p>\n
As sure as God\u2019s fresh air keeps us breathing and moving<\/p>\n
Invisibles are with us on both sides of the aisle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
