Chapters of Life

"Our lives are like a book,
Chapters document the trips we took

In each phase of our lives,
Pen to paper does not lie

Some chapters are light and gay,
Others are tough as we made our way

Others we don’t want to read again,
A few have humor built in

There are those we want no one to see,
Those past lives we can all agree

Should be hidden,
The memories forbidden

So not to disrupt our current chapter,
As we pursue  what maters

Finally there are those chapters yet to write, 
For life on earth remains finite

Save the best for last,
Drawing on the chapters past

For it is your story to write,
And may it’s ending be just right

But until then begin a new chapter,
To find the happiness you are after"
