The Stage

I appear on the stage,
A young actress,
Chosen because she was young and beautiful,
Learning the words to a great play,
A companion to man,
A diversion of intelligence,
Dialoging with excellence,
A talent discovered after many years,
Memories of elementary and secondary talents,
Movements on God's stage,
Well co-ordinated,
Respectful and appreciated,
The audience is silent,
Listening to every word,
Stratford-on-Avon,
A beautiful memory,
Where great actors and actresses perform,
A continuous stage at university,
The wisdom of acting,
God's setting and characters coming to life,
Enhanced living and blessings.
