I play this game of life each day But wonder of another way Making moves like playing chess Some ways right and some a mess Not often I move straight ahead I veer and pause too much instead Hiding from what move might see My options end, exposing me I’d like to be the little pawn But for the battle they are born Maybe be the horse or knight Always ready for the fight Be bishop moving where he can The king or just or just a normal man Trying with the tools I’ve got To play the game and earn my plot For some are pawns and some are kings But in the end nobody wins It’s how we just enjoy the game And how our options do remain So let us play a super game And treat each other all the same Be grateful we could play our part Until another game does start |

One thing about Chess, Rick, and that is while during the game, one must put themselves into each piece, and remember to keep the goal in sight. |

Rick, and like in chess, we can only move within our own limits. I especially like the ending of this one. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
