Life - a Chess Game
Uncertain, exciting, full of thrill
It can set your blood aflame
Living a lifetime requires skill
There are no best moves
No one gives you cues
Sometimes you win, Great!!!
At other times you are the bait
White is not at all evil
Black is not the devil
Pawn can become King
Skill makes you win
The game of life is chequered
There are no magic catchwords
Its all about patience and strategy
Its no place for a cry baby
So plan your game, use your pawns
Live life fully from dusk to dawn
Gamers adept are having fun
Last man standing the game has won
