Every Face Is a Book
Don't be mistook
Every face is a book
That tells of a story
The closer you look
Around the eyes
You can read every line
The laughter and heartbreak
Wrote out over time
A crease in the edge
At the turn of the lips
Dog-eared smile or frown
To later be read
It's all there of course
In chapter and verse
As the title suggests
From our best to our worst
All in the look
Not always understood
Telling a story
As every face is a book
