Turning PagesA Poem by J SchwenkKeep moving forward.As soon as life began The book opened To chapter One The page turned with each passing day Move on when life seems boring Don’t stay on one page Keep moving forward Just turn the page Don’t move the pages backward to reflect on something Chapter Ten Another exciting life event Look occasionally to the previous chapters But don’t go back Chapter Sixteen Life was what she wanted She had big dreams and achieved them She lived her dreams The pages turned Chapter Seventeen Life seems a little slow at that point But don’t give up When she goes away, some people didn’t keep in touch The real friends are the ones who stayed Keep flipping the pages Life is good She achieved things and came a long way Don’t think how far you have to go Think how far you’ve gotten Chapter Fifty She came a long, long way She lived this crazy, insane wild ride called life Stayed on and dealt with things That weren’t always the best She fully lived her life The last page contained a few words And the book closed. © 2014 J Schwenk |
