We
all know that we are on this planet on only a lease of an uncertain short term
The
Thief of the Night may come in an instant or after lingering for months as we
lie infirm
Sometimes
He comes way too early while a person is too young with too many unfulfilled
joys
Or
after a full and long like comes way too late as the body and mind by disease
is painfully and slowly destroyed
Rare
is the human who has lived a full and complete life and climbed many an
achievement peak
With
few pinnacles of success needed to further seek
To
win yet another auto race and then to take the ceremonial victory lap to do
what he wants to enjoy
When
out of nowhere the Thief suddenly appears with the card of instant death to employ
News
out of Vermont of a 62 year old race car driver during his victory lap suddenly
crashing into a wall along the track
A
medical problem not revealed but possibly a stroke or heart attack
No
warning while doing what this driver loved to enjoy
No
slow decline with thousands of dollars of medical treatments to deploy
