Our Game

play well

Life is our game
something new every day
Be glad for the opportunity
that you get to play

 

We will never know
what other worlds may do
It is not that important
for either me or you

 

Anyone wishing
to play their game well
Should give it all they've got
before they ring the bell

 

The sound may chime
on that coming day
Telling all within earshot
that we knew how to play

 

Our goal should not be fame
that makes the bell chime
Its the example of our effort
and how we spent our time

 

So get up off your duff
and make the day worthwhile
You will be glad that you did
and you will earn your smile

 

If you fail this test
of what you could do
A frown on your face
will be what is left of you

 

Smiles are for those
who have played the game well
What happens after you are gone
is the story people will tell
