To look life in the face

The Game of Life

Roll the dice and now think twice,

the turn is yours, the stakes are high.

If in a choice you found a blight,

don't curse your luck, but keep on high. 

Draw a card and next decide,

call the shots it's on your side.

If by mistake you missed the time,

don't hang up, it will arise.

Then just before the wells run dry,

if seen a chance that you should try, 

be sure to sow your seeds in time,

for you shall reap the harvest of life.
