The Dance
Life is a gamble
One you cannot win
You take a chance every day
And the odds are very thin
Each day brings something new
And sometimes it goes right
Then one day comes
That will make day as dark as night
We can't control a thing
It's all a matter of chance
But it's all an integral part
Of simply joining the dance
About this poem
I wrote this poem because so many different things have happened in my life. Spent many days wondering why things happen. I finally realized there is no reason. It's just the dance we do
