Sadly a few people's lives will be changed today
Life for us all is a lottery, daily a game we play
Lives can so easily change at the drop of a coin
Dont be certain that normality you'll always rejoin
Plan for the future but live for the here and now
Have no regrets before taking your final bow.
(Inspired by the London helicopter crash that my guy witnessed)

Opuss has given me a love of words and writing...
If we die tomorrow, I think I'll be alright. Although there will be darkness, I know I've seen the light.
I read of a man who stood to speak, At the funeral of a Friend.
In all the 329 years, 4 months, 6 days I've lived, I've seen chamber pots filled and long since emptied.
Is time really on our side. It controls all we do Is time our friend. Or is it a foe. I have so many plans Places I want to go Will time allow. Or will it say no.
Life flashes by,. Picture after picture,. My whole life,. Looking so much richer,. So many things were lost,. Hiding in between,. Now I can see the cost,. My life was like a dream,.
Warning: The following story may be depressing, and I am sorry if this causes sadness. The End Of Gregory Dean In a backstreet of a city, a lone figure bent crookedly over a meager fire.
With the passing of time, Mirrors bring lies, While age bring lines, Oh it has seen my cries. Lived years a plenty, Happy and sad, I feel like I am twenty, Never old or aching bad.
Caught on the wing of a butterfly. I can't help but watch the world go by. And as I look up at the dreamy sky, I think of how lucky, and wonder why. What is my purpose on earth, here.
@tetti2 I know it's such a busy road there's blocks of flats a huge supermarket the tube and a mainline track not to mention it was rush hour! It could've been so much worse although it's bad enough isn't it for the family's of the two fatalities ๐
@smellyfingers helicopter crashed into a crane at vauxhall. @sjw great wrote, it's totally astounding only two people died (life is literally a lottery of who and when) ๐
So very true we can plan for the future but we have to live in the here and now for we never know a day may bring. Amazing poem :) <3
@smellyfingers the helicopter crashed on Wandsworth rd near the nine elms flower market don't know if you know it? But yeah it crashed into a crane or something hit the road and burst into flames 2 ppl died and 9 injured ๐
@chickgamer yeah just watched a YouTube clip and read up on it.....bloody good job I wasn't in London today, I'm on that Wandsworth road every morning! Sad day indeed! Gonna be interesting up there tomorrow
@smellyfingers my guy uses it for work everyday too it said it was a nightmare traffic wise and avoided it altogether coming home so be prepared...
Yeah I know the location babe, worked in all those buildings! The pilot has worked on hollywood movies as stunt pilot, he was diverted to London heliport which is literally a few hundred yards away from crash site, said he was flying low cos fog and residents have warned that crane never had its beacon light on previously!! God knows how nobody else was killed during rush hour!!
@smellyfingers yeah I heard that didn't know about the beacon light tho I know it could've been so much worse in that location as well
