Race called life & living

I'm no better than you

and you're no better than me

life is like a gamble

some are born to last

the course

and others

 not to get off

the starter blocks

or to fall

at a hurdle

and never

go on

and the odd few

that make it

till

the very end.

and

actually

win the race

called life and living

to an old age

are very lucky

Cynical or not but true.

Words of wisdom and truth. You have summed it up marvelously. Life has difficulties, hurdles but also stepping stones. Be your true self, live the moment to the fullest, help yourself and others and so forth. Life can present many oppurtunities.
