I posted this 6 years ago but I've enjoyed updating the ticket and the text...
Here's my ticket for today's performance!
God's the director - I'm cast as the lead:
no understudy, stand-in or sub!
no understudy, stand-in or sub!
No audition, no callback, no rehearsal -
I'm learning my lines as I go...
I live and breathe the theater of life,
I'm never off stage - I'm always on...
I live and breathe the theater of life,
I'm never off stage - I'm always on...
There's plenty of drama all around
-no need to add my own...
Elements of tragedy?
well, yes - of course!
But lots of comedy,
romance, some slap-stick
and a good bit of mystery, too...
The plot unfolds slowly,
it twists and it turns,
but I love the story
but I love the story
and trust where it's going...
The script's not complete,
I'm helping to write it;
Thank God, the Playwright
still welcomes revisions....
There's more than 3 acts
- more like 3,000,000 -
but the scene today
has but one performance...
And whatever today
I might bring to this play
and whatever my life
might bring to this stage:
I hope I might hear
when the curtain comes down:
Applause! Bravo! Applause
So be gentle and kind
when you write your review,
and come back again
for tomorrow's show
when the lights will go up
and the curtain will rise
on my play's new opening:
a brand new day!
