Poem #296 Dealt


We make plans and place our bets,

not knowing how the cards are dealt.

Where or how will they fall?

Only God knows.

For a time, our hand might be strong

but luck or providence

(in truth, an act of God)

might guide the cards out of our favor.

Still, we must play,

for in this game of life

while losing might be an option,

quitting never is.
