\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No Gamble At All<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a toss of the coin. Yes or no.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Which way will you go?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is sweeter than you\u2019ll ever be.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

On this point, we can both agree.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Drop the coin into the slot.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Take the ticket. Do it, or not.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If the ticket says \u201cGo for it!\u201d,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

you will have to bite the bit.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Knuckle down and give it a try.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It may bring a sparkle to your eye.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m waiting for the answer, \u00a0by and by.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When the time has finally arrived,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

will you do it and remain alive?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is something we all want to do.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Even someone as stubborn as you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There really is no gamble at all.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, it must be done before the fall.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Many others have found the path.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do not worship a golden calf.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do what your heart is telling you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Become a brother and\/or sister too.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the end it\u2019s a matter of choice.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just listen to that still, small voice.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be welcomed with open arms.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just bring it, with all your charms.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
