The Opera of Life

Life is a song,
Life is a ballad,
Each day write the lines,
Time scripts each verse.

Life is a symphony,
Dawn sets the tune,
Twilight permutes the harmonics,
Tomorrow determines the pitch.

Hope changes life’s song,
Faith modifies its rhythm,
Redemption becomes its theme,
Newness becomes its message.

As we come close to life’s final door,
Its music gradually fades,
It comes to an abrupt stop,
As the door closes.
