Taking a chance

by Michael LoMonaco   Jun 29, 2016


You have to roll a six,

With four dices on the board.

The odds are not in your favor,

Playing a big game of chance.

Critics are saying it's impossible,

But you still play in the tournament.

Self-discipline increases the luck,

Determination reduces the risk.

Regardless the outcome of the game,

A dream is better pursued than left alone.

    Michael, this is excellent. I love the whole meaning of this piece.

    The way we roll the dice doesn't matter, what matters (I feel) is that we to the risk even against all odds.

    Hello Michael and a warm welcome to the site.

    What an excellent first post from you. I love and entirely agree with the sentiment too.

    The chances maybe slim. The odds my well not be in your favour, but those who never roll the dice and play the game will never know the sweet taste of victory.

    Take care and all the very best
    Ben
