Your life is a play

performed on a stage called the world.

 

The stars are your stage lights,

the sky is your curtain,

and the cast is the people you surround yourself with.

The audience consists of people who you think you don't know

but actually have passed you by.

 

But only your loved ones are invited backstage,

and even if they can't stay for the entire show,

you'll see them all again at the end

of the final act.
