Smile If You Have a Winning Hand

Life can mimic a game of chance
It can be grand or awfully bland
Take your stance with a joyful glance
Go ahead and reveal your plans
Smile if you have a winning hand.

A little gem of a poem. Yes, life can be grand or awfully bland. Whatever it be - have a joyful stance. Our attitude is more important!
