Seize this prize moment,
cash in your winnings and spoils.
Luck’s temperament
plays her pendulum mood-swings.
Her metronome ticks,
losing your seconds
that could have been precious hours.
You may never recover
from losses you earn-
in the time you have burned.
Feel the wind’s quick breath
as it whizzes through your hair!
See the color range
through nature’s masterful art.
Hear her network sounds.
Count the daily smiles
among the people you see.
Light up their world to
with gifts you willingly share.
Yield surprise returns.
Happiness is found
in each moment we relish.
The bitter and sweet
in aftermath come to greet.
Glad tidings they bear.
Cherish this moment too my dear!
