Analysis of Chance And Luck
If you've done your homework
and assiduously planned,
chance and luck will favor you
and grant your heart command.
If you've walked uprightly
and have done your very best,
chance and luck will favor you
and put your heart at rest.
If you've picked the flowers
and prepared a fine bouquet,
chance and luck will favor you
and warm your heart today.
If you've shown some kindness
and assisted those in need,
chance and luck will favor you
and bless your heart indeed.
If you've run a true race
and abided by the rules,
chance and luck will favor you
and give your heart crown jewels.
