Our lives are like a book,
You open the first page
And the story begins.
That first chapter starts at birth
Where loving parents watch over you.
In that young life you learn,
Learn so much,
More than at any other time.
Each new chapter giving wisdom,
Wisdom and experience.
The pages in the book get turned
And new chapters are always there,
Some of the chapters draw you in
To the glory in your life,
The excitement cannot stop.
A new chapter then starts
And maybe it bring sadness,
Sadness and despair,
But you can read it
Knowing that a new chapter awaits.
Sometimes you believe that the end has come
So you stop reading the book,
This is not the way it works
So you must turn the page,
As the book is not finished
And that next chapter can bring you wonder.
My long book of life has had many chapters
And I still look forwards to each one,
To each new chapter that awaits me,
As I know there are many more yet to read.
“Life is like a book, some chapters are sad, some happy and some exciting but if you never turn the page you will never know what the next chapter holds.”
