She wasn’t much at playing poker
couldn’t lie as it caused her strife
she hated board games with a passion
Monopoly, Scrabble and Life

Games were played all around her
her boss played them for money
her mother played them for guilt
and her husband for a little honey

Children came and more games played
innocent games of fun
but gone now, the childhood games
are over for daughter and son

At last alone, a player of one
the game is on the line
the dice are tossed, winner take all
who’ll win this game of mine?

(sigh) Yes, as our childhoods pass by, the game does get into one-player gear! (sigh) It's like playing Parcheesi, you are responsible for all your own actions, and as long as you believe in yourself and share your love, you won't be blockaded! (sigh) BRAVO!!! Wonderful re-post, it's such a  pleasure to read it! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Doesn't the lose normally get a consolation prize or something?

There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar.
