Life is so very much like a book;
oft, I am uplifted; other times, in rage;
things I don’t like; are quickly forsook;
I can simply turn life’s page.
Life’s book has many chapters;
some are filled with love and joy;
others chronicle life’s disasters;
many lessons, they each employ.
Life is portrayed as birth and death;
interspersed with tears and laughter;
one chapter speaks of one’s last breath;
the next, describes the hereafter.
For life, itself, is a moving tale;
first, it begins; then it unfolds;
and life has very much to regale;
its reader’s attention, it holds.
Change is a prominent theme in life;
the underlying cause; neath surface;
the hero takes a husband or wife;
fulfilling a part of life’s purpose;
Death is always a part of life’s book;
a villain, in many a chapter;
a sudden vacation, a character took;
but, he’ll return as a new actor.
Life is the never ending book;
filled with sorrows and laughter;
it’s time we took a deeper look;
life has no final chapter.
