Life Is A Gamble
Life is a gamble
And we are all bettors
But whatever is the game we play
We must not bet what we can't afford to lose
We must not bit more than what we can chew
We must not eat more than what we can swallow
We must not run a race that we can't finish
Storms we face must not be the reasons to quit
For everywhere, there are mountains and plains
And rivers and seas in between
Through waves and rapids we must cross
Refusing to dare have more to lose
While we are young, we must dare
While our souls still have flair
Or, soon on our death bed
We may be drowning in sea of regret
*Inspired by my long time journey to recover from gambling addiction and the chances I lost. But I did learn some of my greatest life lessons.*
