Life is a game of Snakes and Ladders,
with a hundred steps to climb.
The snakes are the trials that pull us down,
the ladders—moments of grace in time.
Each throw of the dice is a choice we make,
uncertain of where we’ll land.
Some turns reward, some test our strength,
all shaped by fate’s unseen hand.
The fear of falling shadows our path,
yet hope keeps us moving on.
For every snake that drags us low,
a ladder waits at dawn.
We learn that the climb is never straight,
fortune twists at the end.
The highest ladders rise too soon,
the longest snakes descend.
But life is more than winning the square,
more than reaching the last of the line.
It is how we play, endure, and rise—
that gives the journey its shine.
