Place Your Bets
Is it loss to lose your child
To the world of adulthood?
Or is it a gift so precious
Made in love when all was good?
Is it worth loving someone
If in the end the End will take?
Or do I love in good faith
If only for love's sake?
Should I fear the future
And it's fickle wheel of chance?
Or should I just enjoy the game
And to it's rhythms dance?
Everything is changing
nothing stays the same.
The stakes are high
Winners may lose
In this cruel, amazing game.
I will choose to recognise
That I have many parts
Most importantly of all
A place in loved ones' hearts.
