What is Life?

Life is a game with a glorious prize,
If we can only play it right.
It is give and take, build and break
And often it ends in a fight;
But he surely wins who honestly tries
Regardless of wealth or fame,
He can never despair who plays it fair -
How are you playing the game?
Do you wilt and whine, if you fail to win
In the manner you think your due?
Do you sneer at the man in case that he can,
And does, do better than you?
Do you take your rebuffs with a knowing grin?
Do you laugh tho' you pull up lame?
Does your faith hold true when the whole world's blue?
How are you playing the game?

Life is like a game of cards.
You did not invent the game, nor did you frame the rules.
You have no control over the cards dealt to you.
But you are there to play.
A good player, even with a bad hand of cards, will play well and emerge a winner.
A bad player, even with the best of cards, will play badly - and lose.
