Phyllis Babcock Poet I do not know?

Life

Life is like a chapter in a book

We open and have a look

Each page unfolds a chapter at a time

One opens another closes we find

As we turn one page it grows

New chapters begin to unfold

Until we find a book

Like life we have a look

Each page shiny and new

Like our life as we grew

One page one line

One day every time

Until the book is done

Until life is none

We live one day at a time

Just like we read every line

Robert Johnson June 26, 2014 at 3:07 PM Like a leaf that turns, a chapters done. As a season end's, a new one's begun. Pages turn one at a time. Poet's learn, and then they rhyme. May your life have many more chapter's Phyllis. Peace. :)

Andrea Dietrich October 17, 2010 at 12:16 AM What about the people that just go right to the last page rather than read the whole book. Those must be the ones that die young. heehee. (or who don't have a life). I'm just playing with ya. But this poem really makes you think about stuff like that. How much we really live our lives or not! I like these kinds of analogy poems.LUv, Andrea
