Love Poem: Gamblin' Man

Gamblin' Man

Every battle has been fought
Each and everyone was lost
Looking back across the years
Count the scars and count the cost

There’s no winner in this war
Yet, the loser lives to tell
Of the good times and the bad
Tales of heaven, tales of hell

For this story’s never ending
And the passion and the laughter
They can wilt like precious flowers
Or the pledge of ever after

So I'll take me to the river
Where the water’s cold as ice
As the church bell tolls forlornly
I will roll the final dice
