We open the book of life at childbirth,
That first chapter brings us into our world,
A world where our parents love us
And where they teach us the ways to go.
As each chapter unfolds we see new things
Bringing us knowledge and experience.
Some of those chapters are sad
And bring us unhappiness in our life.
We have chapters that are happy
And bring love and glory to us.
Many of them can be exciting
Bringing us wonder and glorification.
One thing we must always remember,
Is to remember to turn the page,
As if you never do we will never know,
Never know what the next chapter holds.

I find this such a comforting poem dear friend. I just spent the afternoon sorting through old photos for an upcoming family reunion and relived so many chapters of my life as well as my family's. Your choice of music also hit my heart, it was the song played at my wedding in "73. Just superb Andy!
Thank you Bella, memories are important in our lives.
That song is one that I play frequently on the clarinet, it is a fabulous tune.
Andy
Beautiful!
and that 'always penetrating' song
makes for a most poignant
accompaniment to your wise words
thank you! Andy
Most kind Mek, thank you.

I like the way you put it .. 'remembering to turn the page'. We can easily get stuck on a page, particularly with trauma in life.
Thank you Jeremy, much appreciated.
