Games Games have lost their thrills impaled. Especially those that I have failed I carry too many bags of lack That drag and weigh upon my back. I still try ones that interest me Those that brew a mental tea Those that mist a slight of wine Moisten on the tongue in dine. Exotic to the way of sweep Seep into the lay of deep Hold onto the dragons flay That’s the way I like to play. I’ve yet to win the game of life I’m still within the storm and strife And thought I make the angels wail I cannot get me out of jail. But soon I’ll end this wail of I’m Too soon I’ll be digested time. |

I like this poem a lot. We all have to game play whether we want to or not sometimes, but, I believe when we finally 'realize' we are a loser in the game of life is when in reality, we are ~a winner~ . Just like you  Thanking you for another great poem. Warm regards, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Mr. Seymour, yes this is a "game of life", and whether we are winners in the end depends upon what our final choices will be. ~hugs to you~  "Love makes the world go around" ~~with love and hugs from Ethel~~ [This message has been edited by garysgirl (11-30-2002 09:27 AM).] |

Good morning, Mr. T.! It is my fervent wish that you do not win the game of life for a very, very long time!---because one cannot win a game until the game is over! But, in my books you have been winning a lot of innings! EA |

(big hugggsssssss) And I truly believe life is all about losing this big game until the end, for we are expected to encounter those echelons like in Parcheesi, trip as we do in Twister, and lose our luck in Solitaire, but if you keep your back row of hope stable, you are bound to win that scholars mate in the end, so have patience! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is excellent, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Sy, perhaps the name of the game is simply "Understanding" which is self-reflective by title. In any case, you play the game well from what I can tell in observing (and hearing) the daily score. -MVS "AS ABOVE SO BELOW" |
