Words of Life.

Goldfinch60

When we were young the words were always there,

They were scattered,

Scattered all around us.

As we grew we caught them,

Caught them and brought them into our lives.

The older we got more were being gathered,

Gathered within us.

Each sentence assembled,

Assembled with experience.

As we start to reach old age

We can look at those words,

And find that those words we had gathered,

The sentences that were assembled,

Have written a book,

And that book is the story of our life.

    I'm deciding how to classify my book . Should it be fiction or science fiction ?

    • Goldfinch60

      We each have our own book and each one is unique. Mine could well be a recipe book!

      I Like this poem, it speaks to me. As a matter of fact, I did write a book somewhat based upon my life experiences. Alas, not a best seller.

      A fine write. Oh yes, you and I have written many a book about 1066. It was all my fault, saying 'Look up'! doh!
