The cards of life are dealt,
We all have a hand which we can play.
Sometimes the cards are low
And cannot win a way ahead,
Others are middle of the road
And you win some hands,
And lose other.
But some have the top cards
And win much more than they lose,
But in the hand I have been dealt,
I have the best of all,
As in my life,
The life I have nearly led,
I have had love,
I have had music,
I have had art,
I have had nature,
And I have found words,
Because the hand I was dealt,
Was full of trumps.
