Is this life just one big game

In which there are no rules?

We are given different challenges 

That we solve with different tools.    

 

We all start in different places,

Then go in our own directions,

But if at times we go awry

We can often make corrections.   

 

Our aim is to be happy

And to avoid distress.             

And as we play this complex game

We'll hope for some success.      

 

While some may fall and falter,    

Others may grow and thrive.

If you wish to know how to win

All you need do is to survive.
