LIFE’S GAME

 

The clouds darken the sky

While the Willows bend –

But no one asks why,

“When will these storms end?”

 

Dark clouds will bring the rain,

And they will hide the sun –

But can you see a heart in pain,

When there is nowhere to run!

 

Maybe we’re all filled with fear,

But the world will not play nice –

So, be aware if trouble comes near,

Then ask, who can give us advice?

 

The storms, when will they end

Or have they come to stay –

Reality, look where we’ve been,

And say, “Life’s game we had to play!”
