In the quiet shuffle, fate is dealt,
a hand of secrets no one felt.
Hearts may falter, spades may bite,
but wisdom lies in playing right.
The joker grins, the queen takes aim,
the king pretends it’s all a game.
Chance is fickle, luck is slight,
yet skill can bend the darkest night.
Fold when shadows cloud the sky,
bet when truth outshines the lie.
Patience, courage, sharp insight—
these are the rules of playing right.
Not every hand will end in gold,
not every story must be told.
But when you wager with steady sight,
you’ll find the world can turn out right.
