This Game Called Life

Our journey through this life is a game of chance Very little skill, more by happenstance Turn the cards at the break of day, which ones to hold which ones to play In this game called life some will win, some will lose, but be not dismayed Hold them tight, bet them high, run that bluff, take that chance If you lose you cry, if you win you dance; it all rides on circumstance Smell the roses, kick the can, run the race, celebrate your friends Love and be loved, embrace living each and every day of life, until it ends For as surely as the sun will rise, we are dealt back in; it’s ante-up or throw them in On our journey through this life we have but one pass, enjoy the ride, that way you win Then kick up your heels and dance, dance, dance

Thank you so very much Lisa. I look at life as each day assessing what you have been dealt. Most of the issues will be the same but others will arise. Come the night set it all aside and rest for come the morning we all are dealt back in.

Very nice. Making the best out of what we have is the only way.
