Analysis of Only You Can Define What Life is To You



-no one can really define
 -what life is to you
 -but only you can tell
 -yourself what you
 -want to make of life;
 -every game has two sides
 -the winning side
 -and the loosing side
 -money is a fool of laughters
 -and game of troubles
 -but life often is more
 -than this tempting pieces
 -some are down today
 -and some are up there
 -but tomorrow, the tune of life
 -often, changes gear
 -the one you saw
 -on the mountain of life
 -is down below
 -and the other, now up there
 -the same dice
 -many semblace faces
 -but different counts of shares
