So I Vow

So I vow:    
                                            Not to be a gum shoe  
                                    Nor to walk in other man's shadow
                         But to shine so bright on the stage like northern star,
                   Play who I am ,receive my ovation  and leave my footprints;
                I am conscious of not coming again,now that I am, I will be me.
