That, that is a twist, and such is life, it seems.

I remember a judge who redeemed a fellow classmate,

By sentencing him to jail, but she was there the date

Of his release to greet him.

It is sad when a life gets off course, and a fellow sees no way out.

Brings to mind a lesson to teach children what life is all about.

It is not in the struggle or the redemption, it seems;

It is in the living that removes all doubt.
