Written - 26th January 2024

We are all there in memoirs that live on An unending story that's long bygone We’re the result of someone's love story The produce of shared love amatory. Those whom once made wishes upon a star Wishes that made us become who we are In the Garden of Eden long ago Where temptation lit up romances glow. Our happiness, sorrow and heartbreak too Maybe a dream that did or didn't come true We are all characters in history The wonderful book of life's mystery. As time goes ticking by, the pages grow Each one of us helps the magic to flow Whilst making footprints along life's highway A journey leading to Heaven's stairway. However long your love story may last The memory will remain of what’s past Love flows through future generations too Those who will be a little bit of you. Love is ageless, love is what gets us through All trials and trauma we ever knew Continue to write of each stage of life The unfinished novel on which we write.

Each one of us Belle make up History for future generations to read, for love is ageless, it has been for ever, and will remain for ever, and as you so eloquently say, we ' Continue to write of each stage of life The unfinished novel on which we write.' Beautifully penned dear Beryl, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I love this. I think we are all turning the page and burning up the ink. As we try to pen life's mysteries as they intertwine with our experiences awake.

Thank you Susan, life is a mystery and we all have a story to tell that will dwell in the pages of history, hopefully read, who can tell. Beryl

Yes, life is an unfinished novel continued through posterity ! "We are all characters in history The wonderful book of life's mystery." Certainly, each one of us has one's own special role and we make history! Enjoyed this beautifully rhyming poem , dear Beryl Have a beautiful weekend !

loved the title of your poem and I'm in awe of how you captured 'the unfinished novel of life'--such a profound metaphor. I like it. Truly we're all characters in our own stories...profound words, dear Beryl.
