The Game of life

A Story poem of sorts made for my younger brother to encourage him to think of life as a game and to play his turn right

Here it goes again

Here It goes again the same little game

The game we all drag on to far

The little game markers nearly faded

The board full of dust

The cards bent out of shape

It’s your move now

It’s your choice now

Should you fold the board?

Should you dust it off?

is your choice

it’s your roll now

place your marker on your spot

this world is your game board

rather you win or lose is your choice

it takes all you got and more

you can’t let this game just set

it’s not the kind of game you leave askew

straighten up

listen to your heart

your almost there now

move your marker two spaces ahead

your too close now

all you need now is two ten’s

all you got to do is roll the dice

it’s not only a game now

it’s your choice now

it’s your move now

oh it’s a game

oh it's your life

oh it’s the game of life

make your choice
