Dealt Dirty
It's not always a good hand the world will deal you.
As once I learned, by the force of circumstance
Make no promises of which you haven't got total control
Sometimes, it's more than just a personal dance
And you may or may not know your roll
---
For a time may come when the world deals you a bad hand
And all the things you love can be taken too quick
Nothing you might do will make the best intentions land
And the outcome dealt to you may be enough to make you sick
---
But loss is a part of the story you're telling
You put yourself out into the world of man
And it won't do any good to try yelling
Before it goes bad, you do all that you can
---
No goodbyes offered, not when dealt by the devil
Only left with the reminders of your life
You hope that it changes, before buried with a shovel
Because that last dealt hand cut you like a knife

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
