You'Ll Do Fine

You wake up each day
And believe what you may
But your life is a part on the stage
Your daily routine
Though it seems most serene 
Adds drama and strife to the page
As your story unfolds 
And complexity grows 
Has the life that you’ve lived seem fulfilled
Ask yourself to defend
Your performance and then
Note: we all play a part in this guild
Know you’re never alone
And though each plays their own
Part of life in this story divine 
Till the end comes around
And the curtain comes down
Play your part to the hilt, you’ll do fine.

Superb William - it feels like we are in the fire of refinement and life is not always easy - but we all must make the most of our lives and powerfully impact the world for the positive - that is my hope with my life - and this poem - the line - play your part to the hilt is true - and that we are one big guild so to speak down here is reassuring! Carry on!!!

How true, William, We are in the play of our lives. Each day opens like a game board,and we began by choosing our game pieces. Only God knows when the game is over. Peace, Darlene
