LIFE'S BOOK

poem by: Ja Ja
Written on May 28, 2017

Our life is like, an empty book
Each year, we print a page	
The story, of our life we write   
With each year, that we age

Some books are short, others long
All based on what we’ve done
Every journey made, and challenge faced
Each ordeal, we’ve lost or won

The good we do, or love we share
Is set in bright, bold print
Each wrong we’ve done, or didn’t care 
Is veiled, in light, grey tint

Then when complete, each page is bound  
With a cover, that won’t bend                              
The front engraved, with our NAME                       
The back inscribed, THE END
OR
Then when complete, each page is bound
With a cover and its twinning
The front engraved, with our NAME
The back inscribed, BEGINNING
WIZDUMBs BY JA 338

That is so cleverly written Ja Ja we each have our story to tell be it good or bad, in his sermon yesterday the priest said something similar, that life begins when we die...I really enjoyed this write very much.
