Gambler- A Tribute

I wrote this post last year, inspired by Kenny Rogers' song we all know...Re-posting it here, I hope he'd approve...

+

We all play our cards

As best we can

All we're made up of,

For better and worse,

Informing each move

We sometimes play cards we desperately wish we hadn't

We despair at the cards

We did not play instead

Our hindsight a merciless taskmaster

Keeping us fettered to the futility of regret

It is not a new hand we need

 or even a new game,

But faith in The Dealer Who still holds an ace up His sleeve 

Faith in the fact,

 that when all is said and done,

 It is His hand which will play out,

His hand, which so tenderly holds us,

which also holds all the cards

And in the end,

Wins.

"I am the Alpha and the Omega

The beginning and the end,

The first and the last,

I am He."

Revelation 22:13
