Life

Life is like a chapter in a book We open and have a look Each page unfolds a chapter at a time One opens another closes we find As we turn one page it grows New chapters begin to unfold Until we find a book Like life we have a look Each page shiny and new Like our life as we grew One page one line One day every time Until the book is done Until life is none We live one day at a time Just like we read every line

Like a leaf that turns, a chapters done. As a season end's, a new one's begun. Pages turn one at a time. Poet's learn, and then they rhyme. May your life have many more chapter's Phyllis. Peace. :)

What about the people that just go right to the last page rather than read the whole book. Those must be the ones that die young. heehee. (or who don't have a life). I'm just playing with ya. But this poem really makes you think about stuff like that. How much we really live our lives or not! I like these kinds of analogy poems.LUv, Andrea
