The Game of Life
The Game of Life is over,
Victory is on Your side –
By the judges’ decision, I shall have to abide.
Once again I have lost, Once again You broke my heart –
Can You feel what I am going
through,
How the pain is ripping me apart?
For many a times I have lost, in
this game of life;
Playing against disobeying mind,
worldly labyrinth, setbacks and strifes.
I want not the prize money,
Do not care for pomp and show –
Master strokes, tactics and techniques;
The art of play are all I want to know.
My Soul belongs to You , My Lord –
Guide me to Your paradise,
Do not desert me Oh Teacher..!
A student is knocking, Arise,
Arise..!!
