You are the lead actor in your own play

With the trials and tribulations of a day.

–

The acts unfold in the form of hours 

Time ebbs and falls like petals on flowers.

–

The costars are many in life’s roles 

Some helpful, while others take tolls.

–

The sets of life are striking and large 

Universe, the director that’s in charge.

–

The audience, quite small numbering, one

Experience joy, happiness, misery, or fun.

–

You draft the script as you live each day 

Mastering many obstacles within your play.

–

Music, your orchestra, from front to back 

Relieving tense moments with a soundtrack.

–

No trepidation or fear on opening night 

With your lifetime of chances to get it right…
