Secret of Life
Is two better than one?
I asked the master of the game of life.
Depends on the game sometimes two, sometimes three, sometimes maybe even less.
Life seems so confusing the games that come our way;
How to choose the one that will twirl our earth and make life fun this very day.
The master bowed his head as if to listen;
I saw in his eye some sparkle start to glisten.
O my friend he said with a puff on his pipe;
It’s not the games of life that make life fun;
It’s the friends that add up to greet you and that alone adds up to be a great sum.
I see what you’re saying I told the master of game of life;
The friends we meet along the way;
Grants us the opportunity to choose what should be done that day.
Another puff of his pipe and smoke twilled around his head;
I saw that glisten in his eye as the wisdom of the centuries was shed.
You my friend have come a long way;
To understand the importance of life on this day.
So tell me master what is the most important thing for me to know;
When I meet the next person on my journey of life what do I need to show?
Most of all my friend is that everyone on this earth wants people to show them love;
Starts within the soul of person that greets the next like the love of two white doves.
The master laid his pipe along the limb of the old walnut tree;
He brewed two cups of fragrant tea.
Sugar or honey he asked as he set the cups upon the stump;
I could smell the tea set before me and said two sugar lumps.
The master leaned backed against the walnut tree;
He rested his cup of tea upon his knee.
He said, the people you meet; will not know who you are or why your even there;
But before they leave they need to know that you care.
The master sipped his fragrant tea;
I then knew the secret of life and what had to be.
I thanked the master for his kindness as I finished my last sip of tea;
And walked down the path of richness that had been granted to me.
The sun of the new day peaked its head upon my bed;
As I awoke from the night of dreams that filled my soul with the love that needed to be fed. Now as I meet new souls along life’s highway;
You will know before you leave that I am one that truly cares.
If you have some time for a visit please set down and I will brew us some tea;
Would you like some sugar or honey if you please? ©2008
