We open the book to our life,
Our story starts.
Each chapter tells our story.
The wonder of childhood
Moving into the chapter of youth.
Age increases as the book is written,
So many things go into our story.
Then it may happen,
That chapter where all goes wrong,
This is where we show our strength
Our strength we have gained.
We need not close the book,
All we need to do is turn the page,
And there before us is a blank sheet
Where we can begin a new chapter,
A new chapter in our lives.

I can't help but see the spiritual 'Book of Life' in this. Even if only sparks or small flame at times - we are still in it if believers, I believe.
Otherwise I've been in the wrong 'chapter' since age 3, when I began Sunday School!
Yes there may well be, but as you know My Spirit is still within me.
Well said but it gets hard when you realise y
you're in the epilogue.
Yes but that epilogue still has its words and dreams.
Don't ya just love new chapters and all that they promise... well expressed and nicely crafted Goldfinch60...
Thank you Neville. Yes those new chapters are thrilling.
Oh this is a wonderful way of looking at it...
'' We need not close the book,

Thank you Clara, there is always a new chapter for us to start in our lives.
And to imagine reading the new chapters in your life. It will have poetry wrutten all over it, There tends to be a ceertain reminding factor of a sudden moment in times appkies the feeling of did I just turn 21 or was it 50. A good book with chapters stamped on your heart...
Thank you Kevin. There are still more chapters to write.
A great attitude to have - that book of life I feel sure will be opened chapter by chapter........... one day - - love the number by the way Andy...........
Thank you Fay, new chapters are to come.
Yes indeed the music is sublime.
Online i found this quote, and it is so appropriate for your piece today:-
"A great deal of literature is only the obvious transformed into the sublime"
Thank you for that wonderful quote d a.
Yes the music is so good.
