power failure

I’m a whole way aways
Out of the way to today
So many things you and I don’t know
An ice storm takes 5,000 homes away
Displace 7,000 families
Electricity reminds us of thanksgiving
Because we’re aware
Of what we have
Not what we don’t
If you had to do it all over again
You’d probably throw down the whole deck of cards
And play a different game entirely
But today isn’t about what could have
It’s about what is.
The focus on possibilities
The whole day, not what hasn’t
And tomorrow, oh impossible becoming possible.

I don’t know your odds
I’m not throwing dice
Who cares about odds
Because nobodies counting.
