The Chances Store

Chances were the premium at the chances store.
Called up their proprietor and asked for just one more.
Inside information suggested relocate.
When they closed the chances store, it sealed the users fate.
With no plans for the future and the future, it is here.
Who knew that the sun would rise and whisper last nights fear?
So we headed for the highway, which ended at the light.
Looked upon arrival, no chances store in sight.
Searching for the answers that will ease the fears.
Some will stand there crying and find few are buying tears.
All are someone’s baby lost along the way.
Strangers and sojourners who have lost the need to pray.
And I say, “Pray”

  1. Wow Dennis, Wow. This post is very entertaining and creative. The name ‘The Chances Store’ according to my understanding, it means taking a chance and yes the chances we take can yield bad results or good ones.

    The store is an example of the things we want in life and the future is uncertain at times for those things we want. Hence, I like the ending that we must pray because prayer opens doors and makes chances worth the risk and the take🙏
