A Sure Bet!

 
“All-in!”
 
 
For “Tradition”-love be humble I “All-in”!
 
Kissed sweet the Bitter Root up ole Montana-way
Danced cloud-torn raindrops out Pike’s Peak play
 
Savor comfort of “the day” far off past
Yet, in me heart true-Love necessary-last
 
And, I appeared and live and someday absent this world
Loved sun and moon and ocean tide and blizzard swirled
 
What then? Of man when time elapsed and space run out?
Exuberant of treasure-pleasure adventure spirit freely shout
 
Perhaps perceived a childlike fool or never given thought
Myriad lessons learned attention paid; maybe a few I taught
 
No matter, now, or even, then, what others think of me
“Happy!” In life-event offer wide smile-pleasure for thee
 
Within me mind and tender heart hold secret trove-treasure
Not silver-gold to count; just simple “Love!” true-measure
 
Oft kiss me sweet of body, mind and freely spirit-soul
Reciprocate tenfold shall I from “Love’s” sugar bowl
 
For “Love” I give and receive returned eternal-way
Invested nearly seven decades and still dare I to play
 
Shake pretty head in pity for such old fool who never did grow up
I’ll greet new dawn, enjoy yon thunderstorm, be on-time for sup
 
Should a ’morrow bless another chance adventure spirit-wild
Traverse I from here to somewhere bearing me innocent smile
 
“Welcome!” To ride on me train and join with I in “Candy”-snack
But---“Beware!” If choose ‘Remain’, keep off me fun life-track
 
Lose all thrills for fear and worry might commit one greatest sin
Takes arrogant courage to stare pure bluff with call-cool---“All-in!”
 
Amen!
