The curtain falls,
The audience cheers;
It is finished.

Many days of toil,
All for one solitary moment,
Yet for hundreds of hearts.

It all seems a waste,
But it is gained for Him.

So pleasant, mystifying, dull,
Amusing, and satisfying,
Yet disappointing at the same time.

You ask, is it all worth it?
Yes, in the end,
And ever after...
