My Ace in the Hole
Some days I’ve been dealt
a miserable hand
no matching suits
nothing nearing a straight
not even a pair
But I’ve good cards too
A queen or four
Even a full house at times
And always I’ve had my
Ace in the Hole—Jesus

First time too to read that Jesus is the Ace in the Hole. Good one Linda.
Hopefully no one is offended, but it seemed like a good analogy to me.
Great poem.
Thank you.
Interesting interweaving of faith and cards! Well done.
I just shuffled the deck of words in my hands and this is what came out. 🙂
You Aced it!
Wonderful poem built around an Ace called Jesus. Love it.
Thanks.
First time I’ve heard Jesus called that; sweet notion–rocking the prompt.
I think I just made it up. 😉
YES. Love this, Linda.
