Michael Degenhardt Poet Quatrain

My Book of Life

Filled pages inked with memories
Lapsing moments within my life
Trials, tribulations, smiles, events
Penned with ink, but bled by knife

No thought ever seemed impossible
Words formed easily to describe the times
Give to you, pleasure in reading my life
Penned for you in prose and rhyme

Take from this all that’s possible
Smile even, or cry with me
I hope my life proves worthy reading
I pray my memories are easy to see
