It's like a card game:
Each time you draw a card, your life can change.
Often, we think it's just another card,
But its effects are very strange.

It's like a good RPG:
You play until you reach the end,
A warrior or a wizard,
A thief or just a friend.

It's just like a fighting game:
You always have to fight with all your heart.
You never know who's out to get you,
You're lucky to have martial arts.

It's like a puzzle:
You work with all your strength to put it together.
When you solve this puzzle though,
Though you die, you live forever.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!

Yes life is all those things. And it can be more. I like this poem.

Cold hands means a warm heart

If the last lines confuse you, consider it a "Shadow Game" to test your wisdom.

"Imagine what you would do if you knew no one was looking"

I just said what I thought and felt at the time.

From experience I'd have to say that that and the last line are the truest ones in the poem.

Basically, your body dies, yet your spirit and your memories live on.

What you've written reminds of the Osho devotees who once had a ranch in Texas called Rajneeshpuram.

It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, & incumbency.
