The Game Of Life

Sun beams hit the open area.
Swings swinging,
Sliding down slides.

Memories rush back to you,
Children laughing,
Children playing.

Sadness sweeps through your body.
You remember.
You regret.
You cry and hold onto what you have left.

Your past,
No laughs,
No fun,
No toys.

The memories a mask for what was your fate.

You scream,
You fight.
You wish things were right.

Taking,
Stealing,
Lying,
Cheating.

Is life a game?
It seems so.

How can you make your life go.
Go on and bring joy.
Only when you remember the pain.

Here's an idea.

Start a new year.
Start a new fate.
Make yourself proud,
It's not to late.

Smile and laugh.
Cry just to cry.
Make every day great as it goes by.

Friends will be there,
Through it all.
Rely on them,
No matter how small.

Love them and thank them.
You know it's true.
Without them you are nothing.

So guys....
I thank you.
