Until

My favourite time of life
I got to wear a wing
A flight engineer’s wing

I sat between them
The pilot and copilot
I handled all
the controls

My most important job, that was;
And second-most, working on
Piston engines, putputputput

It was an honour for me, but
What good would that do
In your story?

All my life was good

…Until

Kidney cancer

All good, never got stopped by police
Never a speeding ticket, not even parking

…Until

My first major setback
Changing the course of life
Changing my whole life

I can’t think of anything
I would want to show to people.
I won’t be here, so

It doesn’t matter,
It’s really hard to say
What has anything to do with miracles?
