When the Chips Are Down

When the chips are down 
Men  are separated from boys
Quitters  fall by the way side
While perennial winners 
Seize the day and be counted 
For that is the essence of life

Life is  a live show 
It is for a short season 
It is time to show the stuff 
One is made of
And bow out as the ovation 
Reaches its crescendo 

Life is for the living 
Take it one day at a time
Everyday as if it were the last
Cause the ultimate leveler 
Strikes when you least expect it
