The Gamble
Incurable romantic
Thats me, I'm told!
Sad songs
More precious then gold.
A fairytale wedding
Ended up a flop
Get up, get with it
For life doesnt stop.
There's no time for sorrow,
For sadness nor tears
As quickly as they come
So do the years.
Before you can blink
Your eyes once or twice
The captain of the table
Has rerolled the dice.
You see life is a gamble,
So I have learned
And we cannot sift through it
Wishing back what we yearned.
Have a moment of silence
For that which is lost,
Pay your respects
But don't pay the cost.
Pick up the pieces
Get on with your life
Be strong, be determined
But stay out of strife.
Excellent!! I really love this one! I liked the line about the captain of the table rerolling the dice! Beautiful job!
I like it =) Zool
well what can I say about this one.... it was marvelous.... and I loved it.... but then I don't think that I have ever read anything that you have written that I did not like.... my favorite part of this was....a fairytale wedding ... ended up a flop... I was there...LOL... and it did flop " BIG TIME"... but then that was in the past.... thank you for letting me think about that again... it was a good day even though it ended up a mistake.... i think that we should never forget the things in our past lives that have hurt us... we should just as you say... get up and get with it.... it is not the falling down that counts .... but the getting back up.... thank you again for a wonderful poem to read.... it was great... have a good day...
