The Cards of Life


The Cards of Life

Bad times will wash away
Good ones will return

Frustration is but a stack of cards
Waiting. About to be disturbed.

But the cards will not turn!
For the stack needs a hand,
a hand for it to turn.

There is no one, no one there 
to give it a hand!

But the ocean tides are changing,
and so is the wind and clouds.

The cards have no time.
They will face nature.

As nature wants happy,
it wants sad in it too.

For if the cards won't be turned,
they won't be dealt, they will be sealed, they won't be played!

If not played happy will not be
If not disturbed the stack will make you sad

So go on, flow with life
As life is like cards.

Waiting, To Be turned.
The Cards of life.
