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
