The Coloring Book

Life is like a coloring book When you’re born you open to the first page Everywhere you go, every new person you meet Is like a new shade drawn on you Every new year that dawns a new age Is like turning to a different page And as the years go by and you pick a new shade The colors will slowly start to fade Finally when you’re older and your almost done coloring You will look back in your book And remember all the things you did All the mistakes you’ve made When you colored outside the lines The tears you’ve cried all so many times The corners of the book that have little stains And all your happiness that remains Life is like a coloring book From the day you were born The first page To the day you get ready to blink out Look back and close the book
