Rhyme Time
Life’s a game

Life has many ups and downs,

Seeing difficulties, you should not frown,

Success is its sweet face,

Followed by problems at each of its phase,

Failure is a bitter truth to manage,

With confidence, you should accept it as a challenge,

You should always give your best,

Be prepared and go through each test,

Stop not until you achieve your aim,

With honesty, you should play your life’s game,

Use your talent, potential to full strength,

Stretch your boundaries to maximum length,

Then nobody can stop you from reaching your goal,

Give your performance with your whole heart and soul,

Never lose hope,

With difficulties, it will help you cope,

Life is like a coin with two sides,

Sometimes followed by many waves and tides,

But try to go through each of its folds,

Worry not as there is someone above who keeps you in his hold,

At every turn, you experience something new,

Failures may be many and achievements few,

But still hard work gives satisfaction more,

After drowning, you are again on the shore.
