And the winner is...
And the winner is…
Four little words!
Can you feel your heart racing?
Your pulse pulsing?
Sweaty palms?
Have you unfolded the little slip of paper?
Taken it out of its special place?
Or have you memorized
your five numbers plus your powerball?
Have you tried
thinking good thoughts,
dreaming big dreams,
meditating or praying
in order to make it so?
Perhaps you have tried
forgetting about it,
waiting a week or so -
To check
To peep
To hold your breath
To open your eyes
Just to see the jackpot
For once in your life
The answer to your family’s prayers
No more living from paycheck to paycheck
Nothing really more than that
Nothing grandiose
No gloating
No greed
Just pure uncontrollable enthusiasm
Shock and glee
To once in your life know
And the winner is…
