Nick Mercuri saw his mother Diane Mercuri singing, The Gambler by Kenny Rogers real, Her voice was sweet like honey, Every note was filled with emotion, He watched her from the doorway, Memorizing every line and gesture, The way she closed her eyes, And belted out the chorus with passion, Nick knew in that moment, Music was in his blood, He would follow in her footsteps, And make his own mark on the world.
