Love is the greatest gamble of all
You need to know when to fold
and when to answer it’s call
All its assets are hidden
behind faces not shown
till you discover is values
from what’s still left unknown.
You can be her true King
if she accepts your hand
and she’ll be your sweet Queen
if it’s in true love’s plan
sharing all of the cards
Life and love choose to deal
making sure there’s no bluffs
holding something ideal.
With no hidden jokers
who might steal what you’ve won
don’t jack her around
till she’s gone on a run
Divorce courts are full
of losers who weep
over hands they have lost
and the Price there is steep
when you’ve got a perfect pair
It’s a choice you should keep.
an Ace of a man and
a woman whose hearts
Can carry the game of love
right from the start.
Then you’ll wind up
with two of a kind who’ll enjoy
that full house you dreamed of
as a girl or a boy.
that is flush with tiny copies
of yourself and her too
from all they’ve learned from you
in everything they do
who will grow up to meet
kings and queens of their own
and carry your legacy into their homes
as you love multiplies
52 weeks a year
like the cards that were dealt
that you played without fear
in your gamble of love
filled with the dreams you held dear.
