I found this, which is now just a squeak over three years old. I don't think you've seen it though, so with a little dusting off, it should be almost as good as new.
Ante Up
Once the cards are shuffled,
And handed all around,
That is the hand you’re dealt,
Whatever you have found.
You cannot have do-overs,
Where Life is what is done,
“This ain’t exactly what I want,”
Just means you don’t know fun.
It’s not a game of aces,
Good cards at every turn,
But rather taking what you’ve got,
And applying what you learn.
Life has a way of making,
Good things from the mundane.
A busted flush can sometimes serve,
Who knows what you could gain?
Some think we’re here to master,
A special kind of task.
And maybe what you need to learn,
May not be what you’d ask.
I’d like to be a rich man,
And live a life of ease.
But anyone can do that much,
From school days earning “D”s.
Accepting what you’re getting,
With gratitude’s a plus,
That’s got to be the reason,
Why God puts up with us.
