Checkmated
Checkmated
Life
Has dealt
Me with cards
Some good some bad
But good outweighs bad
Have no complaints so far
So what if some nuts and bolts
Have become loose as I have grown old
Happy as a lark with life's twists and turns
Have
In life
Many times
Been checkmated
Placed against the wall
Wriggled out through gaps small
Marooned in islands of thoughts
Locked in dark cavernous tunnels
But found a light at the end of it all
