Another year gone by
Another candle on the cake
A distant friend remembered
A minute for memory's sake

Time or distance haven't healed
The pain I've managed to yield
Since your departure hurt is all I feel
I guess death is never an easy deal.

Another year gone by
Another card in the post
A distant feeling lingers
A minute for an absent host

Time or distance will not seal
This wound inside is far too real
Since you departed hurt was all I felt
I guess death was your hand to be dealt.

Time to make a toast;
To You we'll miss the most
We simply cannot fake
The pain left in your wake,
The truth that our hearts ache
And the fear that they may break
A message for your ghost;
Think of us on Heaven's coast.

Time or distance haven't healed
The pain we've managed to yield
Since your departure, Fate's not ‘sposta steal
What kind of fortune is death upon a wheel?

Thanks Alot, U.S. Games Systems, Inc. Circa 1970

I found this old, dusty pack of Tarot Cards today that made me think it was A sign.
Time for another
Personal reading.

The cards say they were made in Switzerland, but they're written in French with dainty photos of colorful French (or Swiss?) metaphysical past times. They were distributed by:

U.S. GAMES SYSTEMS, Inc.
468 Park Ave South
New York, N.Y. 10016
Copyright 1970.
(Wow!  45 years ago!)

I focused and shuffled the cards.
My first inquiry was the outcome of Moving back to Seattle,
And, according to the Swiss Gypsy
Who only wrote in French,
My ultimate outcome if I moved back To the Emerald City
Was the card:

L'Amoureux,
Aka The Lovers.

****.

I then asked another inquiry about my Outcome if I stay in California,
And my ultimate outcome was the card:

La Roue de Fortune
Aka The Wheel of Fortune.

Cha-Ching!

But, wait.
So, basically it all comes down to my choosing between....
Love
OR
Riches....?

THAT'S ******!!!
