Life Is

Life is a game to be won -
a challenge to be met-  
A gamble you risk- 
a poem to be written- 
a test to be studied for-- 
A story to be told -
a character to be remembered...
 
If you lose the game- 
learn the rules  
win the next one, 
If could not meet 
the challenge head on -
sidestep it  
and keep going -
If you don't take a risk you will 
never know your full potential.

Write that poem thats in your heart 
see the world thru a poet's eyes. 
Studied and prepare for the next level. 
Keep a journal, keep pictures 
to prove you existed.
 
Build your character 
become a legend in your own time. 
Life is a cause to live for...
but worthy enough to die for
If a man has nothing 
he'd die for--
Then he has 
nothing to live for.
