What if, my life was a show for a heavenly audience?
Real entertainment, except maybe a little inglorious
Judged by votes, am I putting on a good show?
It’s a thrilling edge of the cliff adventure that makes
Great TRP, its all fun and games until I start to break
I now play the Master of Fates in this game show
Against Him I can never win; all moves are rigged.
I now wonder if I cry, will my misery continue to stick?
I hope that’s boring. Am I still putting on a good show?
I am just a puppet in a puppet show, strings attached
He says jump, and I’ll jump happily in fire unscathed
I can't deny I'm afraid; I better put on a good show.
I pretend I know Him; I talk of us as best friends yet,
Secretly I beg the Master to make me His favorite pet
Have some mercy in this tragicomedy of a show!
So for the next season, I return as villain not victim
Touch me and I press your jugular, be a bit wicked
If I am destined to lose, why not put on a good show?
When my time runs out, I’ll be eliminated then
You know the best part is, I’ll never know when.
So until then, I’ll go on putting on a good show.

What if the show is more of a song we're part of putting on?
Uneasy at first, too many eyes and ears on either side.
Asking, what if the stage Master detects imperfection?
Unknowing, without a glance in our direction. Then, to stir His notice, we dance.
Frontstage, backstage, a whole production! Nothing?!
Even at the edge of the stage? Is this war I wage?
In this age, where is a hedge I could hide? I have looked far and wide!
Narrowing my glare, it is there I find His stare.
Standing still, looking over the ledge.
In them, I can see that is where I have been, all along.

Just trying to contact you -- thinking I was too harsh with you several days or weeks ago Rachel. I am sorry forgive me.

Well, raised by a showman Rachel, and a harsh one, and this world being troubled in sin, as our own nature is, - as a friend if I am I will say God is working on me stopping putting on anyh shows, being honestly just myself, leaning on and living in HIm -- much happier cause "happy are the people who's God is The Lord."

I write Christian poetry now -- God uses it. God bless sister
