Game of Life

Life is but a contest;
Life is just a game.
A simple way for us
To pass the time away.

With every new experience
Taking you closer to the end,
We strive to make a difference;
To fix and heal and mend.

Though, soon you'll find
It's simpler than this.
Life's only purpose -
To create something you'll miss.

A legacy to hold
Part of us when we leave.
A story to be told,
The one our souls will weave.

When our time here is up,
When all is said and done,
If every moment counts,
Then you have truly won.
