Deck Of Life..inspirational poem by Jeanne Carlton Walters.


 
 
The times you may have thought
That life is not so grand
And life’s a deck of cards
You’re dealt a dirty hand
When all the cards are dealt
The plays are all set down
Only the survivor
Will win the final round
 
Life has countless trials
That come along the way
The world, is composed of
Different paths, tricky plays
When all the cards are dealt
The plays are all set down
Two to one the Joker
Will win the final round
 
Dissimilar people
Having opposing views
Some, they are the fighters
The others never chose
When all the cards are dealt
The plays are all set down
The brave and the wiser
Will win the final round
 King of Clubs
Many, take the short roads
Few will go all the way
Waiting the next battle
While the weak shy away
When the final curtain
Draws closer to the ground
One taking the long road
Will still stand tall and proud
 Queen of Hearts
The jokers may be few
And a gamble but yet
Unlike a King or Queen
They are the better bet
When all the cards are dealt
The plays are all set down
Two to one the Joker
Will win the final round
 The Joker
Sitting in the back ground
Within the decks of life
Jokers are survivors
They protect weaker life
When the final curtain
Draws closer to the ground
Only the survivor
Will still stand tall and proud

Purple heart
