Your life is not a single story
But rather an assortment of small ones
Some endings are happy
Some, sad
Others - ironic
In some stories you are the hero
In others - the villain
Still others, a bit player - in someone else's saga
We all are but players
In story, after story, after story
Without being afforded one rehearsal or script
But collectively we share the hope
To bow out gracefully
Joseph DiFrancesco
