Game of Life
We roll our dice
Deal our cards
Eyes closed we pray
For Queen of Hearts
I've rolled my ones
Drawn my twos
Came close to bust
But never to lose
Instead of snakes
I've found a ladder
At last, a break!
I'm feeling better
My poker hand
I view my cards
Ten, Jack, King, Ace
Four fifths, all Hearts
The final card
On the table there
Face down it lays
I do not dare
I close my eyes
To God I pray
My game in this
One card does lay
Then I reach out
One timid hand
Take my last card
Hold my breath, and...
I think of you
A smile darts
My final card
You, Queen of my Heart
