Seeing Your Life As A Movie

Take a long look at your life
no matter its length of years
whether that be short or long
look at how significant its sphere

Make your life like a movie
what would your part be to play?
a starring role or just a bystander
being humble or arrogant, would you say

Thinking aloud about your life
starting from your first day of birth
moving through all life's stages
laugh or cry for all your worth

Look ahead to your future days
no matter how many you've got
make them full of technicolour
remember the good you've been taught

Now make your trailer appealing
so many would want to come and see
be thankful and grateful for all of life
it's yours to live to be free!

(Reflecting on one's life and pondering it as a movie.)

Gordon you have posed such an interesting task. I think my movie would be quite boring and mundane. You made me think a little deeper, and while I have done nothing remarkable, some of those around me definitely have. Thank you Gordon, I guess I appreciate my life a little more, realising all the people around me are outstanding individuals, of whom I am proud. THANKS GORDON. Best wishes my friend.
