The book is in front of you,
You read a page and turn to the next.
Each page brings new meaning
But you may come to that time,
That time when you need to turn back,
Turn back to a previous page
Just to ensure that you know what happened.
But it may happen that you can’t,
Can’t turn back to that page.
That is when you realise,
Realise that turning back cannot be done,
It is not an option
As the book you are reading
Is your book of life,
And in that book, you cannot turn back,
That’s life.

So true Andy there is no going back and rereading it is forward one page at a time to the end. Nicely said
