The Game

if life were a game
there would be rules
and funny little pieces
to symbolize who
we want to be

we would get
do overs and
we could call
time out whenever
things got rough

there would be
cheers when we win
and shoulders to cry on
when we lose and things
would sometimes end in a tie

and if we got tired of playing
we could just quit
or at the very least
start over and next time
be something new all over again
