Tis a matter of chance whether we enter the world unto a countess or a washerwoman. You reach. You grapple. You grow. You take the dive launching your struggle to stay alive! Your torch may be lighted but will it stay lit. Helpless you witness the listless as others around fade away laying fallow in the ground. Things just never stay the same.
And although your candle may flicker and crawl or wrestle with the flame, Whether you are left to burn another day depends upon those still in the game.
