Winning Hand

Winning Hand

When she took her very first
                    Breath of air that night
          The dealer smiled and shook his head
                 At such a precious sight-

I looked into those big brown eyes
                    My heart began to melt
        I knew right then— without a doubt
                   The hand that I'd been dealt-

The cards were stacked against me
                   Those eyes…I could not bluff
        Those tiny fingers in my hand
                    Were river card enough-

I raised my face to heaven
                  And said to God- "all in”
        For I knew that He had blessed me 
                  With my lifetime biggest win
