Story Of Your Life The past unveils your story and the future is your stage And with each passing moment you can write another page. But with this stage before you, would you eagerly perform? And would you bravely carry on throughout the deepest storm? And though the plot may darken as you battle through the years Would you write another chapter when you've wiped away your tears? Would your story be a triumph knowing that you've won the fight Or will it be a tragedy to read the words you write? I pray you'll keep on trying even when your efforts fail And I hope you give yourself the chance to live a fairytale. But don't ever tell yourself that you must write this on your own The story of your life should not be written all alone. Remember to enjoy your time with family and friends For the only thing we can not see is when the story ends. So when this life is over and your death concludes the book, If we had to read your story, would we want to take a look? |

stunning, I wanted more...this was a lovely rhyme all the way around...but, I have one thing to offer and please don't take this as an insult....most people need a mate, spouse whatever to carry on, but, there are some who live a lone and are perfectly happy the way they are. Society today, unfortunately conditions people to think and believe that you are not a success unless you are a couple....hehehehhee, well I'm not a couple, and I'm doin A oh kay! Smiles and hugs.... this was an enriching source of encouragement,,,,would you mind if I printed this up and kept? Its ok if you would rather I didn't. Lee J. |

I totally agree with you Lee, I guess I wasn't really trying to imply that people NEED a "significant other" when I said that "the story of your life should not be written all alone" Rather, I was just encouraging people to stick tight to the things or people in their lives that give them a sense of belonging and purpose...whether it be as a spouse, parent, friend, pet, etc. One person or thing can mean more than a person can ever put into words...so I was simply encouraging everyone to hold on tight to their better half. Hope that cleared it up a little, and once again I agree with your thoughts about society's tendency to make being a couple seem like a "must" in life. Thanks for the feedback Peace Andrew |

hello Andrew: i believe this is a very clever poem... or is it about the cleverness of the poet? indeed, it's both. i truly can call this piece ( just my style ) anxious for more. |
