Place Your Bets

Is it loss to lose your child To the world of adulthood? Or is it a gift so precious Made in love when all was good? Is it worth loving someone If in the end the End will take? Or do I love in good faith If only for love's sake? Should I fear the future And it's fickle wheel of chance? Or should I just enjoy the game And to it's rhythms dance? Everything is changing nothing stays the same. The stakes are high Winners may lose In this cruel, amazing game. I will choose to recognise That I have many parts Most importantly of all A place in loved ones' hearts.
