You Play Your Life

"You play your life

by choosing delights

and often plights,

yet face it head on,

smiling as you go along.

At times, tears all day long.

But knowing that this is

your life you make,

trial and error

and success - more if you dare.

For it is true,

the wholeness of you is in

taking charge of what is yours –

this life that is here.

Your time now to breathe

and make your voice heard,

in the way that is yours.

And when the choices come your way,

know that it is for you

to feel your way across this time,

living life out loud and not sublime."
