Game of Life

Game of Life

Life’s like a pack of card(s),
what you get might be hard,
but your patience and play,
will determine your mainstay.

Some might seem to hold a better hand,
not necessarily, they till the end will stand.
Only you know what you hold.
What can be played, bargained or sold.

A silver spoon does not assure a lifelong win,
Dependance, arrogance, indifference can take anyone for a spin.
Don’t blame cards that life deals,
Opportunities are rife, but there are no free meals.

Passion and persistence are above par,
hard work and humility can take you far,
Help and hurdles come in the way for one and all,
Your attitude determines your rewards-big and small.

When the game ends, so does guile,
All cards go back in a pile,
Some put down theirs with a smirk, others with a smile,
Think how you want to play, without being vile.
