Cards of life

Life is but a deck of cards.....
we get dealt just the one and like any good card player,
your hand isn't revealed till the very end. 
someone sees to that.
doesn't matter the number,
king,
queen,
jack or ace,
neither your faith or even your race.
your card is plucked and given to you at birth,
chosen at the yggdrasill, 
where the norns twist and entwine our fate on this earth.
they're the ones that toy with us,
toying with their deck of cards....
whatever your card,
just deal with it.
good or bad,
it's your chosen path. 
don't try to cheat it or the norns will have the last laugh.
Just take your card and deal the best you can,
never works though if you are a betting woman or a broad shouldered man.
fate makes us who we are.
fate is inexorable and can never be changed.
in the end,
the norns will cut your strand. 
fate is no more when you're released from this land.
so take the card that bonds fate to your life.
whatever it is,
make what you can of it,
even if it feels too late,
and remember the one thing we can't change is our eventual fate.
