Life's Book

I've opened life's book, where pages are worn To leave another fingerprint behind Though pages are the same and pictures torn The words that are written sometimes are kind Will I find my chapters real or a dream? When my passage through time seemed innocent Where days were longer and laughter the theme And I concluded life, self-evident I rest in gray light of evening's pause And time seems old, silently unaware It rushes to its final purposed cause To close my book with these pages I share The journey written whether dream or real Was worth the effort, I wrote it with zeal

oooh, GREAT final couplet. that is so important in a good sonnet. Well done. Was it for a current contest? Seems like it could relate to one of Shakespeare's quotes!
