For When Angels Place Their Bets

 

Treat every day as though it's your last.

The future needn't be ruled by the past.

Cherish your loved ones, out-love their mistakes.

Sometimes, my friends, pure love's what it takes

To make them understand.

 

Touch their cheek, pull them near.

Kiss their lips, show no fear.

Tunnel fingers through their hair;

Let them know you truly care

And take them by the hand.

 

Smile brightly, mean what you say;

Give a compliment, make someone's day.

Live life to the fullest, have no regrets.

For when Angels among us must ante their bets

With you, they'll win a grand.

 

Cherish your loved ones, out-love their mistakes.

More often than not, pure love's what it takes.

And then, they understand.
