    Game of Life
    Through the pain
    and back again
    So, throughout Life we go

    Through ups and downs
    and turn-arounds
    All are a part of the show

    If your feet leave the ground
    or you step out-of-bounds
    YOU are OUT of the game

    Don't' arrive before Fate
    come very late
    Or get ready to enjoy the wait

    Just line right up, while
    you get in single-file
    Be sure to put on a big smile

    If you can handle the wait
    if you,re not in a state
    Life can be one heck of a game

    Life can sure be a game. We seem to think we are braver than we really are and tend to bend the rules.

    "if you,re not in a state" ***you're*** (Sorry. I just correct little mistakes like this for people and some do the same for me. (:) But its a great poem because I like your comparison of life as a game. (: Good job. I especially like the first and last paragraph.

    thank you for taking the time to read my poetry

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
