Time Is An Eternal Book

Time Is An Eternal Book Time is an eternal book with covers so worn it embraces us even before we are born. Pages may be long and very deeply stained sadly in this life so much is unexplained! There are pictures of our infamous deeds proof of our fruits and barbaric seeds. Times we refuse to help, those in dire need They were bountiful crops, we were the weed! Yet recorded also our moments of victories times we gave of ourselves and loved others. Life recorded complete with its mysteries how nothing beats, sweet love of our mothers! Near the end we may see that spilt ink is bad Find it too late and our future so sad! Robert J. Lindley, 07-23-2015 Note- A Sonnet , a Message and a Truth.. edit- "spilt" is spelled in its common usage and form not a spelling error by the author( *spilled).

Hello Robert!! A most excellent sonnet write (as usual)!! Yes--Time is eternal recorder of events that reflects all events that people are involved in during their lifetime. (The love of our mothers is very well said here!!) A Super "7" for another home run write my good friend. Cheers and Best Wishes, Gary

I very much liked this deeply philosophical poem, Robert. Way to go.

How true, Robert. I love the metaphorical presentation in the first line. We write our own story, however, with the ink of our decisions. Good one! 7 Kim.
