Lif'e Game

Pass the red ball around
Don’t let it hit the ground
Hold it too long and you’re bound
To break the rhyme and take the blame
For a mistake you made
While playing life’s game.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
