The Game of Life

The Game of Life

There are times in all our lives
When we’ve been thrown a curve
Swing as we might, can’t seem to hit
Solutions as they swerve

We take each pitch so carefully
And with our hearts do weigh
The ifs, the buts, the maybe whens
There must be another way

Your heart is yelling swing the bat
Your head has called strike one
Your friends are saying run to first’’
Not sure what should be done

You close your eyes and say a prayer
And swing with all your might
You hope the choices that you make
Will all turn out all right.

And you may only get a hit
Or maybe a home run
Could slide at 2nd, get tagged out
And have regrets before it’s done

But stand up tall , brush off yourself
There’s always new beginnings
Cause unlike baseball, life can give us
More than just 9 innings.

Reason for writing:

    A friend is going though a seperation and everyone is giving her 'advice' on what to do.
