Act II

By Carolyn J. Freebairn

Theatrical dialogue
From the playwright’s
Page portrays
Stirring drama
Vividly
On stage.

Yet, a more moving
Performance,
Considering the
Factors,
Occurs in true-life
Living of the

Actors.

Thus, can we
Afford to do
Less than our best
In the performance
Of our earthly
Test, however
Challenging
Our role may be,
In life’s
Dress rehearsal
For eternity?
