Welcome to Las Vegas
Lights, glitz, and excitement
You play the games
Little skill, mostly chance
If you win, you'll return
If you lose, you won't
You can lose it all
Or you can cash out early
You can't play forever
But you can stay a while
So roll the dice
Pull the handle
Pick your numbers
And let it ride
It's not about winning
There's nothing to lose
So enjoy it while it lasts
Welcome to Life

Yesterday's history, tomorrow's a mystery, and today is a gift. That's why they call it the present.

Good imagery....you almost don't need the last line as the true meaning behind your poem seems to come through without! Love the attitude behind this

as the old irish proverb goes, "live life, for you're a long time dead."

And all you can do is to go where they can find you."
