The Game of Life

The Game Of Life

Life is a game and we are the players.
We were delt some cards and we play
the best way, we know how.

How do we know if we win, or lose, 
when we are learning the game as we
go along? It is not easy to play this 
game, when no instructions have been 
made.

The game is not easy, but we hang in
there - until one day the game is over
and only than we will find out if we played
the right cards, or if just lost in this game
called LIFE...

Keith Bickerstaffe February 24, 2013 at 3:43 PM It's like when we brought our newborn son home from the hospital and I jokingly asked my wife, 'where's the instruction manual?' If we live our lives by the Golden Rule I think we'll be OK. Well done Lucilla! Best wishes, Keith
