The Chess Table

Pray sit a while and think with me
God's strategy with light you'll see
Faint glow from those who sat before
With faith they played but sit no more
Now take your place and hold your line
That seat now yours which once was mine
Keep well your peace and take your turn
Stretch out your hand and you will learn
Time sat with friends is time sublime
Pay dues to them a golden dime
Be bold in life as in your play
Then win or lose you've won the day
In life and love you shared with me
This game of chance and so we see
Two minds one game one long embrace
An eyebrow raised that sentient face
Good friends good heart I know will find
Their memories live yet within your mind

Pray sit a while and think with me ......
