Life is a book

A poem from my notebook

They say:

"Life is a book,

and you alone can write its lines."

But a good book pulls you in,

holds you close, won’t let you go.

It sparks your mind,

challenges your soul,

and takes you places yet unknown.

Is there someone in this world

who’d truly care to read my tale?

Would they turn the pages fast,

eager to see what comes next,

what secrets hide between the lines?

What friendships will be made,

and will they stand the test of time?

Will they be strong like ancient stone,

or fade like whispers in the wind?

Will my path be smooth or steep?

Will I give up or dare to dream?

And most of all…

how long will my story last?

A hundred pages—maybe less?

Or will it end before it starts,

with just one line: "The End."

They say:

"Life is a book,

and you alone can write its lines."

    Oh. I hope it is not one line that says "The End." That would be so sad. Loved the poem.

    Beautiful expressive ability and a journey into the book of life that awaits to be written with beautiful dreams from each one. A spontaneous inspiration that makes me feel good. :)

    Yes we may should write a book about or life. What did we well, what did we wrong. What can we tell our followers not to do the same mistakes.
