Life Is Like A Game Of Golf

Life is like a golf game
Think about it
Hole-to-hole drama
Suspense, if you will
Because there you go
Putt within sight
Then boom, all goes wrong
The ball goes the other way
Like life when so, so close to ahieving something great
A job promotion, bank loan
Perfect date, perfect woman
Perfect marriage
And all goes wrong
Ends bad
But there’s the other part of life that’s like a golf game
Great swing, hole-in-one
OMG, what sweetness
As in going through at least one week in a year when all goes as planned
As in going through a string of years where everythig is perfecto
And, of course, there’s the in between stuff
Like in golf, nine solid holes, then the 10th and 11th tee
Marginal success
As we’ve all likely experienced in everyday life
Monday, Tuesday prettty good, followowing Sunday
A day or relaxation, praise, family unity
Soooo, then come Wednesday and it goes so-so
A 50-50 tale
Your mood swings as your mind runs
Then, Thursday, a coin-flip perssay
A nice payday on Friday can pick you back up
Certain does for me
So, back to golf, nearing the 18th hole,
Still in the game, the hunt
A birdie would be sweet
Bingo! Yes!
Like a great Saturday that springboards into Sunday
Another week, another crack at jubilation, triumph
Satisfaction that can’t be
Like being under par after 18 holes
But in life
Just simply being ahead of the game.
