Advice from the Gambler

It’s life, get over it, he said
It’s the hand you were dealt
So play it
What’s your alternative he asked
Throw in your cards now
And leave with less than you came in with
Look at the hand others have to play
And the pair in your hand doesn’t seem so bad
Draw from the deck
Make something from what you have
It’s life he said
Not a damned game of cards
