The Game of Life

I was dealt the weakest hand to play but I play anyway

Never giving up because I'm here to stay

I remember once things were going my way

Then the tables turned back to the weakest days

With the weakest players and the crooked ones

I have faith so I know one day that this game of life will someday go my way

With a new hand, new players, and new partners to end up with a power play

Nice outlook! You play the hand you're dealt - I like what you said about a new hand, players, and partners to form a power play, those around us can indeed influence our lives for the better. Lovely write CeAsia!

‡ Is It A Game, Life ? If So Then Yes I Played This Game In This Passing Place Until One Day I Was Touched; Then Upon Windy Days It Became More A Battle; And I Know Shall Remain So Until The Moment This Body Is Swept Away, Forevermore, Sweet Beautiful CeAsia. Good Luck In Your Game. My Love, Rachel *
