The Last Bet

Yeah, Ronnie’s story, a fall from grace,

A man with faith, lost in a race.

Circle of life, spun around,

Silent lessons, so profound.

Ronnie, a brother of the blue, holdin’ hope tight,

Chasing dreams at the Kentucky Derby night.

Losing grip, on a gamble so steep,

He bet everything, took a leap.

Blue Man Shoes, racing in his mind,

A destiny, only he could find.

But luck turned, the dice betrayed,

Left him cold, in shadow’s shade.

Gambled his soul, on a race he believed,

Lost it all, in losses he’d grieve.

Lessons learned, too late to borrow,

Money and pride, lost in sorrow.

All in, headfirst, chasing dreams,

Life’s cruel game, or so it seems.

Now he stands, with empty hands,

Wiser from the shifting sands.

Ronnie’s caution, echoing clear,

Gambling’s lure, brings despair.

But hope’s a race, he’ll run anew,

Find his way, break through.
