The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

In the Spirit of Team

In the game of life, there are no set 
players in our team, 
Sometimes someone joins, and 
sometimes someone leaves,
Each player plays a part in fulfilling 
our needs, wants and dreams,
To me, this is how it seems.

Through trials and fears, we continue,
 in life’s run, 
And in our triumphs, we forget the tears 
and pain and celebrate the victory,
 having fun,
Each voice singing together, each word 
turns into a sweet song,
Together in unity, giving a sense that 
we belong.
In the Spirit of Team, there’s togetherness.

So, raise a toast to all those who 
were and are still on our side,
With Faith’s gentle hand, 
In the Spirit of Team, let’s continue to 
grow and explore the land,
Together like the flowers we will bloom,
Each displaying our uniqueness, 
beauty and colour in the garden 
of the Living.

Like in the multicoloured garden of the 
blooms, there’s beauty.
In the multicoloured garden of the Living, 
there’s Beauty too.

Beautiful, optimistic, uplifting write. I love it when life is as written in verse 2 from 'each voice' until 'togetherness' is a feeling that fills a group and/or just me. Lovely write.

So true, that ' each player plays a part. ' While we all have different talents and abilities, being kind is something we all can do. There will always be beauty in the garden of living, as long as we work together to keep it that way. Your thoughts uplift my heart. Congratulations Zyrool, on Poem of the Week.
