A day that can change life



A DAY THAT CAN CHANGE LIFE
==========================
May be a day listening to the radio news
Or a reading  an autobiography of a saint

May be watching a movie on use and abuse
Or tracking relations of joy and pain restraint

May be mind eating ice story of an addiction
Or sharing collective responsibility of correction

May be a jury sitting on crime and conviction
Or a victim tracing the fairness in his infliction

May be a social care helped to golden fascination
Or a suicidal act was ready to play an assassination

May be a twist to avoid divorce in marital life
Or a childhood vow to remain husband and wife

May be a treating an agitating patient of depression
Or attending a diamond anniversary of congratulation
