The Bridge Game

The Bridge Game
(c ) ARC - February 23, 2019

I was lonely with no money for fun pursuits.

Playing Bridge recommended for seniors.

Located free class at Jewish Community Center.

Casino/Poker/Canasta rich memories childhood roots.


I met phenomenal new friends but game was hard.

Game difficult challenge requiring memory: my short suit.

Inge Johnson now in sweet by and by was gifted teacher.

Peers encouraged so hung in creeping inch and yard.


It was all about people for me versus competition.

I though had goal to become worthy opponent.

Learning for me has always been arduous affair.

Success is laborious writing and study repetition.


The nonprofit Long Beach Bridge Club is sharing.

Classes by volunteer Mensches are available to me.

I am awed at their dedication/stellar teaching skills.

They are ultimate in role modeling mitzvah caring.


Recently two events scored second and first place.

Milestone says thank you to my mentors.

You have touched me, I have grown.

My life is enriched because of your grace.###
