A Father's Book of Life
Strange are the pages when they are turned by someone else
You try to follow along
With each one turned creates another memory
Another wrinkle in time
The book gets older
The pages more bent
over and over you try to figure out the story
The plot begins to thicken and you question all you have seen and lived
The book needs to be token care of or the pages become forgotten
Torn or beaten down
Feels older then it really is in your hands
Then the story could come to end sooner then you like
You want to continue reading on
But because you neglected the pages
They could never be written on again
The book of life is gone just a number in the library of death
