Life is not perfect, it has its flaws, And flows with restricted efficiency; Once in a while, it will bend the laws To compensate for some deficiency
At times, Life will send torments our way, (For which it should humbly beg our pardon) Gladly we forgive such vile display When we find love growing in our garden
We dance to some unknown rhapsody, While Life's hands are positioned on the keys; We think we compose the melody, But Life will play only what it shall please
Life is a gamble we seldom win, Though we have no choice but to play the game, The cards are dealt, the wheel starts to spin ..... Will triumph be ours, or a loser's shame?
Dubious is the motive for this game, Yet, we follow the rules most ardently; Always seeking the elusive flame That reveals the purpose of you and me
In darkness, we blindly tread thin ice, Where underneath a rough sea is churning; Though our instinct murmurs sound advice, The ***** of hope nurses our yearning
Know this! God's secrets will not be learned, Though foolish hearts beseech the realm above; But when the last page of Life is turned, We'll find all that really mattered was Love!
