30th installment of my series (Karen)
Have done more than decide my fate
They given me a better view
Kept my mind seeing straight
I've rolled some great numbers
Even rolled 6’s one time or two
But long ago I rolled snake eyes
I felt my life had turned taboo
Is my life a high stakes gamble
Things have really altered my view
The earthquakes I've had to face
I rolled snake eyes several times
Those loses can’t ever replace
Too have control over my rolls
In fact true yet not the same
Because I risked it all
In this high stakes betting game
I rolled the dice this time
And found out that god loved me
For I almost went home broken
Covered in my mistakes and debris
Now I don’t take the gambles
I live a life so simple today
I've let the dice I use to throw
Lose track and fade away
In the times that I feel lucky
I find the dice that caused me pain
And roll to see what could be
And know they can’t cause me disdain

Let the Dice Roll Twice
The dice I've been given rollHave done more than decide my fate
They given me a better view
Kept my mind seeing straight
I've rolled some great numbers
Even rolled 6’s one time or two
But long ago I rolled snake eyes
I felt my life had turned taboo
Is my life a high stakes gamble
Things have really altered my view
The earthquakes I've had to face
I rolled snake eyes several times
Those loses can’t ever replace
Too have control over my rolls
In fact true yet not the same
Because I risked it all
In this high stakes betting game
I rolled the dice this time
And found out that god loved me
For I almost went home broken
Covered in my mistakes and debris
Now I don’t take the gambles
I live a life so simple today
I've let the dice I use to throw
Lose track and fade away
In the times that I feel lucky
I find the dice that caused me pain
And roll to see what could be
And know they can’t cause me disdain
