The Play

I'm alone in this world, of this I'm sure I'm in a play called life, messing up my part knowing there's no encore Things bother me now, that never did before As things become clear, and more secrets be told my mind becomes sore I know little of my script and barely know my part I don't think my part will be a big hit, besides my beginning is off to a horrible start Funny how the actors turn into the audience, seeing only as much as you want them to see I'm brave but scared, smart but dumb, and strong yet weak Kicked down so many times, sometimes I wonder why I don't stay on my hands and knees But my playwright is God, and He knows everybodies part part better than the back of His hand And although I don't, He knows my script beginning to end I think and feel my way around the stage, since tears in my eyes feel like sand Always go on with the show, all the way through , although some are uncertain they can People see actors and stages, never thinking bout what goes on behind closed curtains So the best I can hope is that my part is great, and ends in a grand finale But I thank God so many more great actors will step in to change the stage long after me Actors will remember and forget those who come, are going, and done came They will remember,however, that the message remains the same That although we're distinctly different, we were made by God and no matter the difference, all actors get clearance to the stage So while we may shine brighter together, together we can make it a better stage and a better play.
