Center stage all of you

who have a part to play,

as it’s time to start your travel;

we are the judge and jury

and all performances begin and end

with the sound of our gavel.

 

We are not critical

of what you say

or how you say it;

actions are our concern —

your motives and intents

will decide the verdict.

 

Living is nothing more

than remembrances of yesterday

and anticipations of tomorrow;

in between are lessons in humility —

better this

than unrealistic grandeur

which often leads to sorrow.

 

We see good in what you do,

and we understand your defeats

and why you may feel a bit wilty,

but we are life and we know

you are only human

and for this —

we find you not guilty.
