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.”

Good write Gold.
Thanks Orchi
Any pages in that book that say you will encounter me singing? What, you torn those pages out?! lol.
Or are those pages headed 'A day of dark despair and torment will follow, but it can't be helped'?
And your final chapter will be when you join your wife happily ever after.
Great write Andy. : )
So very true AP, so very true.
Andy
With that kind of optimism you could go on forever.....You will be into volumes next.
l was engaged. Thanks
Thank you Dave, optimism is my middle name.

I think I came to that conclusion some time ago, actually, Andy
Don't forget to get those multiple volumes properly bound, will you?
Oh I will - cost me a fortune so far!
life-affirmingly hopeful words of wisdom, yet again Andy..
just sad, that some of us are born into such diverse and difficult circumstances:
where our pages are drenched or churned into ash, before we get to realise what a book is in the first place,
or live a life where we only learn to read and write in our 30's, 40's or worse yet, have our lives end without ever learning
that h-o-p-e: spells opportunity, for that better we never learned to wish for..
sorry my friend I know I may be being needlessly dramatic, but I just thought best to remind those able to read these words
how lucky we are, to know: there's a better, for us to reach for
Very true words Mek and yes we are very lucky in being able to knwo there is s good way to go in our lives.
