Book Of Life

Time gets older as the pages wither,

The pages of an old, worn, book,

This book is special to many,

And has been every where you look.



You can never judge a book by it's cover,

Is what I was always told by my mother,

It's the withered pages that truly count,

The pages were written by the father.



The book contains many emotions,

Like memories of an old, dead friend,

The story will make you shed many tears,

You will want to read it to the very end.



As the last page of this book is turned,

It stabs you in the side, like a knife,

It is then you will realize,

That you just read the book of life.
