Gamble

I'm going to take more chances
start living on the edge
step over every line drawn
push every envelope
going to stop thinking twice
gamble on what's ahead
quit living life so safe

I'd rather be wrong for loving you
even if it doesn't work out
it won't be the very first or 
probably last, that I made a huge mistake
but I don't see how not loving you
is a chance that I shouldn't take

I guess I would rather be sorry
for something I did, not didn't do
and I'm going to take, this leap of faith
yep, close my eyes and jump
I'm going to take this leap of faith
and go on loving you

Jo Bien March 9, 2010 at 6:51 AM why don't you tell me how you really feel Solomon LOL. I appreciate your input...but I don't think it has anything to do with what I am trying to get across here. You totally lost me on the snowbird thing. Thanks for reading and commenting! JB

Solomon Storm March 9, 2010 at 6:34 AM "not"lose it in a stanza which one?i highly recommend taking chances that have nothing to do with love, and more to do with, this great big wonderful world you live in. europe? china? damn! you ever seen a globe?if you don't, you will always be "their" puppet, pawn, or victim!snow birds are "old"! and never find true love.snow birds: old people who have been sticks in the mud for 50 years or so, serving the "system" aka: their comfort, and are retired, carefree(?), and to old to be free
