Playing Life's Game Poem by Frederick Nellist

Where are you going
going where
Playing life's game
spin a coin
turn a card
Let fate take the blame.

Good intentions smile
no road to hell
Destiny tells lies
throw some dice
dream a dream
The way the crow flies.

Life is our chess game
puppet or pawn
A gamble we all take
a chance to win
or one to lose
How high is the stake.

It is a game we must play
in with a chance
It is worth your while
full of dos
full of don'ts
Try living it in style.
