Game of life

Life is not a game of Risk -
where you try to achieve
World dominance ...

It is not a game of Sorry -
where you jump all over each other
on purpose and pretend to be sorry ...

Or a game of Chess -
where you out strategize one
and other to defeat their queen ...

Or is it ...

One Mistake

Lying in the gutter
of my once proud life
In a matter of a moments
it passed before my eyes

One mistake they told me
would not end your world
where was all their wisdom
as my life unfurled

Was there someone watching
with laughter in their eyes
did an audience gather
witnessing my demise

Mistakes create opportunities
for our souls to grow
learning as we wander
down the path unknown
