The Game Of Life.

Goldfinch60



At the beginning of our lives

The cards of our life get dealt,

In each hand that we play

We may win and move forward,

Sometimes we lose and move backwards,

But another hand will be dealt

And that shows us,

Shows us that we are still in the game.

In those deals our future rises

With every hand we get dealt

And we will always keep moving,

Moving forward,

Moving forward all the way,

To that place when the last hand,

The last hand is dealt,

And we move into another game.

    Yeah, get this one quite clearly, having been a primary school card shark! šŸ™šŸ»šŸ•Š

      I too played cards with my parents and family and it was great fun.

      Was Shakespeare right? I don't agree with him that life's a stage, and we're all players.

      • Goldfinch60

        You were banned from playing cards as you wouldn't stop singing to put others off there playing. LOL

          Lol.

          Good advice and very wise, we should indeed. šŸŒ¹

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you Teddy, we must continue playing.

            A most interesting analogy Andy. I have played cards of many types and never was a particularly good player. But then I have been lucky enough in the game of life to keep being dealt good hands, I just don't always play them well. A most enjoyable write

              The law of averages says you have to win one in the end. An interesting and enjoyable read.

                  I have noted over several years that the cards are never stacked against you Goldfinch60 .. indeed, it seems you are a credit to the dealer, yourself and to optimism itself .. & long may it continue .. Neville

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Neville, such wonderfully kind words.

                    Powerful work.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Whether we win or lose there is only one way to move and that is forward. My cards were dealt ok. Iā€™m not complaining. Others get a rotten deal. Much enjoyed Andy.

                      • Goldfinch60

                        Yes Cassie we must always move forward, thank you.
