Football

Is it life, or a game?

With-out, it, life, is not the same.

Two halves an interval,

Perhaps, extra time.

You score a goal,

With the ball, over the line,

90 minutes,

Seems like,

90 years.

Full of hope and joy,

Happiness and tears.

Then comes the whistle,

The final score.

Did you, lose or win?

Or was your life

A draw?
