The Cards We’re Dealt In Life
October 26, 2008
By: Rose Marie Rideout

The day that we are born,
Into this world you see,
We were dealt a hand of cards,
Of how our life was meant to be.
Now we have many choices,
Some good or bad to take,
But what we chose to keep and play,
Marks the type of life we make.

You see the:
Ace is for Happiness
The King stands for Joy
The Queen is for great Trust
The Jack with Understanding gets us by
The Ten is always Praise
The Nine is a great love
The Eight speaks kind words
The Seven makes our Heart Glow from above
The Six sends great sorrow
The Five sends sadness your way
The Four means a misunderstanding
The Three sends tears to you this day
 The Two always Criticise
An Empty hand just turns to Hate,
If you come out With a Winner,
Then you know your life will be Great.

As a child you knew from the very start
How you had to begin each new day,
You’d wash, dress, eat & brush your teeth,
Before you went out with friends to play.
You knew that you were loved a lot,
By those who greeted you with love,
We would teach you how to play the game,
With the help of the  Good Lord up above.
