Lucky me

This is for the Weekend writing prompt #235

Lucky me

I broke a mirror which means bad luck
I thought, “Well I’m really an unfortunate schmuck.”

I went through the day filled with worry and with dread
and I couldn’t toss those thoughts from my overly anxious head.

I went for a walk, so careful where I stepped
I stayed on sidewalks, only ones that were swept.

Tentative steps so I wouldn’t slip on slime
when I happened to notice a bright, shiny dime.

I bent, picked it up, and reveled in my glory
and that, my dear friends, is the end of this story.
