Life's Still a Big Gamble

There's only so much joy this guy can handle It soon overcomes me and life gets all scrambled They say we're entitled To happiness unrivaled But we shouldn't get cocky, life's still a big gamble © Jack Ellison 2015

But really, the choice is ours how we handle the ups and downs! A happy positive outlook wins most of the time!!! Jake

The blissful joy will come in the after life... When pain is gone with the strife... Then we'll handle it well... While under God's spell... As hopefully in Heaven we will dwell.
