I PLAYED THE GAME OF WORDS FOR YEARS <br /> <br /> <br />I played the game of words for years- <br />It did not bring me to Fame and Fortune- <br />I tried and tried, <br />But no one really cared for what I did. <br /> <br />Now I am quite old, <br />It appears I will never get to where I wanted to go, <br /> <br />I have sadness and regret for this, <br />But I doubt I can change it. <br /> <br />Life is not necessarily what we dream it will be <br />We strive, <br />But God may give us something different from what we hoped. <br /> <br />I am still alive <br />I am writing this now <br />I have had many years to write and try <br />I thank God for that.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-played-the-game-of-words-for-years/
