Quick post

The semester is winding down, and things are going to be hectic as usual, but this is a short piece that is going in my final project for the poetry section.  Do you like?

Aces

So you were not dealt pocket aces
To bad, neither were the rest of us
Some of us got a four seven unsuited
Some a two and an eight, others a cup and a rock
How do you play poker with that?
You figure it out, you make it work
Work harder, longer, or smarter, but make your own luck
Even those with pocket aces, may see a couple fives and a six on the flop
They have to grow and learn or be left behind just like everyone else
Take your “shortcomings” own them, and take yourself where you want to go
Not where someone else thinks your hand should take you
