Life Is a Game of Chess

Life starts off as a pawn taking one step at a time
You move from one castle to another going north, south then east and west
Then you become a knight searching for your Queen
Then becoming the bishop trying to go into the right direction

You then become the King taking one step at a time finding your Queen
Your Queen is moving in all directions while the King tries to catch her
Some times another King steals your Queen then life’s game starts all over again
Black or white green or blue this game of life is the same 

We all play this game fighting to survive one move at a time trying to win

Interesting analogy, Bobby. Never thought of life that way before... You certainly have made a great point! Best wishes, Gershon
