Authors Of Our Lives

Our life Is what we (for the most part) make it.

...For the most part…

We are the authors of our lives

We choose the characters

Set the scene

We are the protagonist…the star

We choose out villains

Heroes, loves and enemies

We set our goals, our hopes

…We set the bar…

We set the mood…pick the stage

Develop the plot

We arrange the action

We cause the emotions

Love, hate, indifference

We accept and adjust to

Twists in the plot

And control the action

To our own satisfaction

Or perhaps we elect

The action to control us

For in the end

We don’t truly write the ending

That’s written by Fate

But…except for that final chapter

We are (for the most part)

The Authors of our lives

At least until we pass through 

…Heaven’s gate…

Author's Note

Note that I said "for the most part": certainly not always!
