No matter what the circumstance
No matter how things are
Acknowledging the part we play
Is the most revealing truth
by far

This world presents a picture
We design and pave our way
Carefully selecting a costume
Choosing what part we play  

This does not mean we are to blame
Or deserve the pain and sorrow
Yet if we can ask what part we play
It just might change tomorrow

It might unlock the chains that bind
Empower us to soar
Challenge us to a higher place
While opening new doors

I have played.. so many parts
The star of my own show
I have stumbled and fallen
many times
Thinking there was no place left to go

They say life comes full circle
What we give we shall recieve
I hope by knowing what part
I play
Myself I won't decieve

Deborah...throughout life you will play many parts.  Life's play begins as one thing, shifts as it progresses and the finale is nothing like the start.  It seems you have an understanding of this....and a desire to know just what part you WILL play.  If you figure it out, let me know......I have changed roles so many times.  At least I don't get bored with the play.  Well done and well thought out.  I enjoy your writings.....Hardrock
