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! _______________ ~Placed Fourth~ Sept.30.2022 A Brian Strand Premiere Choice Poetry Contest

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!
