Finale

The stage is set,
The spotlight's on you.
The audience looks perfect
Waiting for the cue.

Your well-prepared voice shook,
Your hands start to tremble,
As you start your performance
You had to tediously assemble.

But nervousness had disappeared
Years before today,
You held onto the mike with pride,
As you took your audience away.

But as the end is nearing,
Your confidence remain intact.
Peacefully acknowledging that
Days of the past would never come back.

You take a final bow.
They heard what you got to say.
The curtains finally drop,
Ending your life's finale.

    Nice Job!
    I especially like the last stanza with this, a magnificent message. I like how you built it up to the climax of the last stanza; kept me reading to the last line.
    Good Luck!
