Three Coins in a Fountain...

Perhaps i misspoke,
     or just saw differently then,
sometimes some words are close enough
     till the right one comes along...

Perseverance is the little dance,
     the sidestep to adversity;
to stand in the face of the tempest
     and still try your best
shows the color, the character
     of you and me...

Sometimes it means to stand down
     other times you must stand and be counted
at times you pray to unseen gods
     or throw three coins in a fountain

One for luck,
     for we all spin on that wheel
0ne for faith,
     making the unseen seem real
and one for love
     the strongest of all
uniting the other two
     for Love is faith
in whom you believe
     and luck is in the stars
who decide if you should meet...
