Never say .....

In honor of the upcoming election I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I will most likely Not become president of the United States. In that same vein I'll even say I probably won't become king of the world. Notice a little word missing? A little word I don't like using. A word we should all avoid? That word is NEVER. As in never say NEVER. Do you realize how long never is? I believe it extends into forever. That's a long time. Don't get me wrong. I know someday that word will apply to all of us. But not today. Can you imagine saying that you will never kick a football at the annual family thanksgiving game at the park again. That you will never dance at a loved one's wedding again. That you'll never make love to your sweetheart again. (See how that word sucks) Never is such a long time. Never means not ever again forever. I repeat myself, but only to make a point. There are so many people laying under soft grass and under large shade trees. People with stone markers and dead flowers above them. They can use that word NEVER. But not you and I. As long as both you and I breath there is a chance. Sometimes very slim, but still a chance. If you believe you will never love again there is still a chance that your one true soul mate will come to your table in that crowed restaurant and ask to borrow your salt. If you believe you will never walk again there is still a chance that the phone will ring tomorrow bringing news of a new experimental treatment they would like to try. If you believe today will never be as good as yesterday there is still a chance that the darkness will pass bringing the beautiful light of a new dawn. So please do me this small favor. With all your heart try to avoid that word. And who knows, maybe someday when you see me you'll be able to say here comes president ezrick. You could always write my name in that little write in candidate box.
