No Gamble At All
It’s a toss of the coin. Yes or no.
Which way will you go?
It is sweeter than you’ll ever be.
On this point, we can both agree.
Drop the coin into the slot.
Take the ticket. Do it, or not.
If the ticket says “Go for it!”,
you will have to bite the bit.
Knuckle down and give it a try.
It may bring a sparkle to your eye.
I’m waiting for the answer, by and by.
When the time has finally arrived,
will you do it and remain alive?
It is something we all want to do.
Even someone as stubborn as you.
There really is no gamble at all.
But, it must be done before the fall.
Many others have found the path.
Do not worship a golden calf.
Do what your heart is telling you.
Become a brother and/or sister too.
In the end it’s a matter of choice.
Just listen to that still, small voice.
You’ll be welcomed with open arms.
Just bring it, with all your charms.
