Valsa George Poet Footle

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!

I enjoyed reading this one. Congratulations on this winner. Way to go. Sara

Sam Kauffman September 30, 2022 at 10:53 AM 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!
