The World, a Stage Footles

This world,
a stage
 
Our life,
a play
 
All men,
players
 
From birth
to death,
 
We play,
our part.
 
God up,
pulls strings.
 
You yield,
be glad.
 
Sometimes
life’s sad

You cry,
you sigh
 
Sometimes
merry
 
You sing,
you dance
 
Feel joy
enjoy
 
Do play
your part,
 
Until
quit stage.

Ably,
neatly.
 
There lies,
true bliss!

We all have choices and are free until we make the choice then the choice can change the course of our lives, but choices are never a permanent situation either because things can change. I enjoyed reading this one. Congratulations on this winner. Way to go. Sara

A little inspiration from Shakespeare :) When we yield to God bliss is achieved, certainly joy!

Great sign for a cemetery, i.e., "Here lies true bliss"! Aloha!

Dear Valsa, there is such wisdom in your words. Each of us is needed and each of us is necessary to build the kingdom as we "play our part." Truly being in touch with our earthly mission does bring "true bliss!" Best wishes for the contest sweet friend. Blessings of joyful bliss to you!
