And The Game Of Life

Life, all of it risk.

Each breath, torment or a gift

One of its kind; unlike anything else

Can’t un-spend, what's been spent

*

Belonging or connected to

Yet, similarly uncommon

Designed for purposeful gains

Some beautiful, some rotten

*

Unique and distinctive

Fragile yet resilient

Helpful and vindictive

Some polite and some indignant

*

Goals and desires, don’t matter much

One step and then the next

Remaining rare is near impossible

Be happy with being your best
