The Play of Life

Living in the spotlight and the shadows

The world is a stage Where we all play our part Some in the spotlight Others in the shadows

We are actors in this grand play Writing our own script Crafting our own lines

But sometimes the plot thickens And the curtain falls too soon Leaving us to wonder What could have been

So let us make the most of every scene Embrace every moment And leave a lasting impression On the hearts of those we meet For in the end, it is the memories That we take with us As we exit the stage.
