Wren Rushing Poet Rhyme

What Is Life

Life is an open book
 each day an empty page,
the word that is not written
 is time you can't erase.

Life could be music
 a tune too sad to play,
but if I could compose
 I would not change a day.

Life may be a picture
 the artist is your mind,
the colors that you choose
 make the image come alive.

Life may be compared 
 to a simple clump of clay,
but in the master's hand
 a beauty to display.
