Life is a board each move hard to take
Moments rush by like ripples on a lake
Thoughts rise and fall like rivers that flow
Half a life scattered as swift winds blow
Watch the tides shift let the dust unfold
Face each turn with a heart bold
Fortunes turn but peace resides
Truth lies where the heart abides
Face the storms with steady grace
Wealth means little in lifes race
Time paints stories stroke by stroke
Leaving marks where dreams awoke
Lifes a path of chosen ways
Wins and losses shape our days
Each step forward a lesson profound
In trials the truest strength is found
