Take a Chance

Chances are 
Your chances 
Are a chance you have to take
If your dances and romances 
Leave all logic in their wake, 
And you are left to contemplate 
The heel of your mistake 
As the latest of the greatest
Walks away.

There will be joy. 
There will be pain 
And sorrow mixed with ecstasy, 
But that’s the way it’s always been, 
The way that it was meant to be.

The apple hangs upon the tree, 
And you can wait for it to fall, 
Or take a chance to taste it now
And savor it
All day.
