Intro to your book of life
Each memory made
Is just an added page to a story of a small life that will end one day
But before my timely demise, I will collect more moments to read for those ending days, with my remainder of time
When my ability to make new memories is no longer a choice of mine
After my body has lost all communication with my mind
I will have an endless book filled with chapters
Taken from a story of a life, I am proud when looking back to call mine
It will read the tale of a girl who turned pain into pearls and wore them around her neck screaming:" I’m ready for you world!".
Who grew into a woman birthing her own kin
Eventually, teaching and leading her to be the warrior she holds within
Guiding and showing her that she's the author and illustrator of her dreams
Every minute lived is a page
That will one day become an access point
To chapters and the memories in between
And one day time will take back what it's graciously lent
Making new entries stop
Creating our inevitable end
So make many memories with care
Remember, seconds make minutes and moments of time
As pages collected mentally timestamp days lived and survived
So fill each page
Until the end of your book of life
