Had the map really changed, or had he read it wrong to begin with?

THIS WEEK’S WORDS come from “Thanksgiving for Two” by Marjorie Saiser: feast, plates, table, little, hair, easy, storybook, day, wrinkled, wine, juice, luck

Had the map really changed, or had he read it wrong to begin with?
Is the table full of plates of feast offering or wrinkled old fruit?
Is life a little like a storybook or as hard as a nail and a hammer?
Like wine that gets better as the years pass by, it could get easier
Finding his luck day to day and taking on the challenge it gives him
Being lost from time to time, going back from the start if needed be
For life is a working progress, never stopping, always giving hope

    I like the idea of combining multiple prompts into one piece. You make it look easy.
