Missed Chance published in West Side Rag January 2023

January 19, 2023  •  Leave a Comment

We're all going somewhere

And maybe our paths will cross

And maybe we'll notice the other

And nod a quick how do

Cause maybe we knew each other

Another time and place

And maybe we forged a bond

No other could replace

 

But events stepped in surprising

And knocked the pins right out 

We lost the other in a crowd

Of faces swirling about

And if in our hurry en route

In window blur of train

We recognize a former friend

Tomorrow's a chance again.
