A GAME OF CARDS
Life is like a game of cards,
You don’t know what's coming at you,
But once you know it,
You have to take a decision,
Will you take a risk?
Or will you play it safe like many others?
Will you fold or will you bet?
If you bet,
Will you win,
Probability says otherwise,
Can you beat all odds?
If you lose,
You are finished,
But it also depends,
Were you all in?
Or Were you smart enough?
What if you fold?
You play it safe,
But then-
You are like the many others
who never win big.
