A Game Of Cards

Came across a poem in my archives today that I had written about a decade ago. Thought I'd share it with you and ask you for your thoughts 😊

A GAME OF CARDS

I lie awake in this tardy night…
Seeing things in black and white;
I see myself trying so hard,
Always wanting to pick the right card;
But no matter, what I think & what I try…
I’m always wrong, and I always cry;
I keep trying …hoping to get it right,
But failing each time ...my only plight;
The game continues… & I’m still trying,
Still playing by the rules... never lying;
Hoping still to pick the ace...
So I can look into the mirror,
& proudly see my face…

But then I ask myself, how would it be...
So I look into the mirror, and see…
To my surprise, there’s nothing I can trace,
All is ok, all with God’s grace;
And then it hit me, it hit me hard…
The ace was never the only right card;
The other cards are just as right,
I didn’t get the ace, but one day I might;
So I collect my cards, & keep playing...
Thanking God for the ones I have,
& to win more, I keep praying…

Guess it always has been and is a matter of perspective... What say?! 😊
