The Game of Life

The Game of Life is Solitaire,
And you make all the moves.
You can take any road you want,
You have the right to choose.

Some roads are wide and well-traveled,
And are well-lighted along the way.
Those roads are very crowded,
For the majority walks them each day.

Then there are roads that are straight and narrow,
Not chosen by the worldly crowd.
The way is stormy, and has many pitfalls.
People walking there often cry aloud.

But on this straight and narrow way
Jesus goes before each and every one.
He leads the way, giving us new strength
To reach that Heavenly home.

Play the Game of Life carefully,
Don’t make a foolish mistake.
The wrong way leads to destruction.
Be careful which choice you make.
