Book of Life
start to end-
joy and strife.
Every day, one new leaf
as each drifts on our heap-
can bring us bliss or grief.
Pray it's stamped with a smile-
was the best we could do
as we stack and compile.
One new yarn spun each and every day;
hoping that it's filled with happiness.
Planned or not- go on, and pray we may
scribe our best attempt, and try to see
that day- not half-empty, but half-full.
Hope is strength, and always, the prime key
to cheer days which cast a sunny look-
yet, accept and bear those dark with storms.
Start to end, we all complete our book.
