Casino Life

Some say that life’s a gamble

In which you win or lose

 

You deal the deck

You place your bets

You hold your breath

And then collect your dues

 

But life is not all chance

Nor game of fight or flight

Sometimes the dice is blank

Sometimes the cards are white

 

Some say that life’s a classroom

In which you live and learn

 

You make mistakes

You take your breaks

You grow your soul

And so the wheel turns

 

But life is not all graft

Nor school of tests and grades

Sometimes there are no lessons learned

Sometimes there are no accolades

 

Some say that life’s a journey

In which you wend your way

 

You choose a path

You make your hearth

You walk your talk

And rise to meet the day

 

But life is not all quest

Nor march from A to B

Sometimes you move in circles

Sometimes you only dream
