THE GAME

THE GAME

In finding life's inner peace and calm
Lies the purpose of one's true quest
The key to the opening of this elusive dream
Is held softly beating within the breast

The ability to set aside the wrongs of the past
Sets the mere settled and the contented apart
The secret to finding true happiness in life
Comes freely from the depths of the heart

Qualities of the soul can never be disguised
Deception will surely fail in hiding the scar
An artificial smile or an apparel change
Can't conceal our past or who we truly are

Everyone carries their own set of burdens
Show much compassion in the ways you live
Peace is found by letting bygones be gone
It's always best to forget as well as forgive

Be in control and give thought when in anger
Harsh words spoken, can never be withdrawn
The choices we make this day sets our future
Peace comes with letting all bygones be gone

Do not expect an even score at each days end
Nor equal treatment for acts of kindness done
Be not disappointed by the tilt of life's scale
You will find good return to receive even one

Too late we discover the shortness of this life
Too much time is wasted on who wins the game
The real winners leave the game contented
We all exit the playing field holding the same

"And at the end, it's not the number of years that count.
It's the number of years that counted"

BE HAPPY
