The Act of Performance

Enjoy your pleasures, every one

As time is always on the run

Each moment counts, as who can say

What lies in store for us each day?

 

Plain sailing or a stormy sea?

New challenges will always be

Waiting for us in the wings;

Our joys reside in little things:

 

A friendly word, a cup of tea,

A shared walk - in good company

A favourite book, a catchy song;

Warm memories recalled burn strong!

 

Life’s no rehearsal, I’ve heard say

Each has a role in life’s long play

Scenes may be happy, sad or fraught

And yes, tough lessons may be taught!

 

Our acting skills must stand the test

While emotions tend to weld the rest;

How complex is the mind of Man!

We pace ourselves - as best we can!
