This is a sad love poem written when i was sitting at home and playing poker |
I heard a delicate voice it sounded pure I knew it was love just sure I noticed her across the room Getting ready to make her move Hundreds of people with eyes on her As she went all in with her pair of fours Knocked out three of the best considered Pro's I didn't pay attention As I went all in with an ace and a ten Next thing I know four hours have passed I was at the final table With this woman, I had to outlast Hand by hand time goes by I couldn't resist so I said "hi" The beauty in her face looked so innocent and sweet As every hand she had I had to beat I tried and tried and tried again But it looked like there was no end So I go all in with pocket threes Next thing I know I get beat with queens! I start to walk away with shame And she takes my hand and said great game! 10 years later I come home from a meeting And there she is online competing I tiptoe behind her and cover her eyes And whispered Happy Anniversary here's your surprise We walked to the table and I deal her a hand She paused and looked at me with those eyes so grand I go all in with a pair of threes She calls and gets her pair of queens I start to stand and walk away with tears She takes my hand and whispers in my ear I love you she said I love you too And I knew that love was very true Ten years later at the hospital by her side Doctor says she won't make the night I'm scared, and distressed Hoping for the best She looks at me with those beautiful sweet eyes Happy Anniversary, here's your surprise With help from the nurse she deals me a hand She goes all in and I call with threes She gets her queens and I break down in tears I take her hand and say my prayers with cries As she slowly lets go and closes her eyes 10 years later so beautiful and sweet She comes home from school and tickles my feet I wake up and knew exactly what to say Because it is my daughters birthday I hug her closely and say happy birthday here's your surprise I take her to the table and deal her in And started to notice a small but sweet grin I go all in with a pair of threes She calls me with her pair of queens I started to walk away Knowing what she was going to say She takes my hand and gently whispers I love you daddy and I love mommy I pick her up and hold her close I caress her hair and tickle her nose I'll never forget that poker love She will always be my morning dove |
