Who wouldn’t be excited
To have front row seats
So close to the action
Immersed in the moment
Every nuance
Right before your eyes
Your senses are filled
Anticipation
Fulfillment
Lasting memories
But what if
This isn’t a performance
What if
This is life
Bearing witness
With front row seating
To drama
That is painful
And personal
You’re not just a spectator
You’re a participant
You don’t just sit there
You get up and help
You’re part of the action
On the grand stage
Of life
Not fun and games
Not entertainment
It’s reality
Unfiltered
And the outcome
Is uncertain
Would you still
Want front row seats?
I know I would
In a heartbeat
