As We Close the Book

There was a book full of golden pages,
Written in the year two thousand sixteen.
How will this book hold up thru the ages?
As one of the best that you’ve ever seen?

Each page is different, on that you’ll agree.
Some full of horror, some gentle, some bold,
Some with a prayer that will set all men free, 
Some sounding the same as pages of old.

Some of the pages tell of many friends,
Sharing your thoughts ‘n dreams thru poetry,
In an enchanting place, new life begins,
A window to the world for all to see.

In looking back, this was one of the best.
Now write a sequel, put this one to rest!
