After all, it is often said that life is a stage.


THE PERFECT PART

c2015 Brian Beecher


She did a show at six and another at nine
Offering very little lingering time
All the lines and song lyrics she’d need to memorize
This afternoon so there’d be no surprise

Music can be a fine medium, she heard someone say
To help choreograph the flow of the day
Convincing the audience things were just fine
On the global stage and the circus of life

Sometimes life can be hard
And you never know what’s in the cards
But she got to make a new start
When someone came and stole her heart
She got to play the perfect part

There are serendipities galore along the way
To delight in how things are happening each day
Paired with a fellow actor who’d keep a smile on her face
She’d invite others to smile back when she took the stage

It was now smooth sailing and they’d see the sign
As with her new loved one she’d spend extra time
They would plan to be married by the end of this year
Opportunities to shine would conquer stage fright and fear

Sometimes life can be hard
And you never know what’s in the cards
But she got to make a new start
When someone came and stole her heart
She got to play the perfect part

And they acted as one
For a sense of a job well done
There was absent a sense of fright
As they began to take the stage tonight

Sometimes life can be hard
And you never know what’s in the cards
But she got to make a new start
When someone came and stole her heart
She got to play the perfect part
