Your Life is your own Parade
Marching through the streets of time,
It's you who designs all the floats
The antics,the bands and the mimes.
Don't be sitting on the curb
Passing time while your life goes by,
But be like that bold drum major
Lead forth your band, stepping high!


Your Life is your own Parade
You are it's celebrity,
Make your's a parade all admire
A life others are glad to see.
For many are there watching
To cheer you and to be blest,
You go but once down life's Main Street
So make sure you're showing your best!


Your Life is your own Parade
A string of many a sight,
Joining to make the procession
Thus is the making of our life.
So as much as the choice is yours
Decide a great life be made,
So when the last float passes by
'Twill be said, "What a Grand Parade!"

Excellent writing!

david; I love this!!!! " Decide a great life be made". Oh, WOW... This is so fantastic!
My new favorite of yours. Love, Sis

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

David this is wonderful, "so when the last float passes by, 'Twill be said "What a Grand Parade"".....and I can only hope I'll be one of those high steppers.  Bonnie

What an amusing parade of metaphoric expression.  Admittedly, sometimes I do get a little shy to parade my faith. Though I suppose no matter what I do, people are watching my parade?  I'll just try to keep on smiling and high stepping...

What a good reminder David! We aren't always aware there are others watching us. We know God is watching always
