Girish Gokul Poet Couplet

Play the Game

Some things are more important than others,
I suffer even as others suffer.

It takes time to realize,
Wisdom was not reserved for the wise.

Mistakes are the useful guides,
Guileless at last, I let go of my pride.

They are a part of me as I am a part of it all…
I play my part, I stand tall.

There is nothing to lose, glory or fame,
Play the game, Skipper, Nothing stays the same.

Doris Culverhouse September 4, 2012 at 3:15 PM life is this game that some don't have the rules. Some do have their rules and others make it up for self. Girish Gokul September 4, 2012 at 10:20 PM well said.. we find our truths, n frame our rules even as we go on.
