Life-
I stood on the city street
And asked the passers by
All the folks I chanced to meet
What they thought of life
I got a different answer
From everyone I spoke
But isn't that a well known fact
That I should have known
Some said life's a circus
With all these clowns around
3 rings to be exact
If you care to count
Others said life's a minefield
So be careful where you step
One wrong move and you'll go boom
Leaving nothing left
Life is also a roller coaster
With a slow climb to the top
But once it is you get there
Hold tight for the drop
Then there was life's a puzzle
Built piece by piece until your done
But be careful in the end
You don't find a missing one
But also life's a symphony
So let's strike up the band
And just hope you play first row
And all the notes you understand
Not forgetting life is a game of cards
Where you play the hand you're dealt
Hoping while in mid-bluff
You're not found out
Yes everyone I asked that day
Had a different view on life
While some of them could be wrong
I'm sure most of them were right
