Blank Canvas Poem by Michael Dunmore

It's a simple game but no one can win
Start having fun before it comes to an end
It's called life, we're born to die
We can't get away, but still yet we try
There's another thing you cannot escape
It's one little rule, we call it fate
Life's meant to be lived, start playing by the rules
There is no manual, but we're born with the tools
Live fast but take it slow, there's still some time
Be careful what you do, this is life, not your mind
If you're stuck in a fog, don't let it get to you
Just give it your all and you'll see it through
Life is my canvas and I'm painting it like this
Live while you can because life is too good to miss.
