If Life Was A Book

If Life Was A Book

A Poem by George David Hope
"

Something I came up with waiting for my daughter to finish cheerleading

"
                                                                       IF LIFE WAS A BOOK
What if everyone wrote a book
From our birth until we die
Some parts filled with laughter
Other parts to make you cry
They'd all be a best seller
Filled with love, betrayal and tears
Our greatest accomplishments
And very darkest fears
Each book would be so different
No page would be the same
Some would be so serious
Others saying life's a game
Filled with first and lost loves
Friendships that last forever
Each book intertwined
Some wrote together
Some books filled with loneliness
Others very short
Maybe some wrote by candlelight
Telling a lesson that must be taught
Would some books have pictures
I guess that's not up to me
It depends on who writes it
And lets others see
So fill your book up to the brim
Make every page a real delight
Because we all put our pens down
When we're heading for the light

They do say each one of us has a book in us. We are certainly the experts when it comes to our own autobiography. There would be many interesting stories to be told. Thank you George. I enjoyed the read, it's been a while since I called on you.

Thank you Richard for your kind words. Glad you liked it enough to add it to your library
The autobiography of the mind, heart and soul. Would be the title of mine. If anyone even read it. That would be a bonus on top. A lovely poem George that really makes you take notice.
