a turn of cards
an old man’s hands
to frame a prayer
in memory’s eyes
the final ace
some withered hope
that life is not
a sad remembrance
of winning hands or lost
this old man’s hands
with innocence
reach out to place a bet
a hope filled blessing
to the mirror of youth
I look upon these hands
have loved and lost
nurtured cherished
chided pleaded past age
these old man’s hands
still linger and hold a wish
a flush in hearts ace high
enduring luck
a final royal desire
a moment
a chance
