Some days it’s easy
Some days it’s hard
Some days it all changes
With the flip of a card

Fortunes are won
And fortunes are lost
But there is no great gain
Without some small cost

Should you keep your cards
Close to your chest
Or play out your hand
Believing that is the best

Before you decide
To spin that wheel
Check in with yourself
See how you feel

For change doesn’t happen
Remaining where you are
It take sacrifice and effort
To reach up and grab that star

You have the cards in your hand
Do you wish to play?
Or do you wish to do nothing
And keep things the same way?

Life is a gamble
But it’s not all happenstance
If you choose not to take control of yours
You’re giving someone else that chance

So take a moment
Think things through
Isn’t now the time to change
And begin something new?
