Our life is a story

Our lives are stories

Chapters and pages

One for each event

Turning and ticking away

The days never to be turned back

Recorded in the book of our life

Starting with our birth

Ending with our death

All separated by time

All connected through time

All we need to decide

Is what story we’ll write

What actions will take place

How will the main character be?

Who will the antagonist be?

Will there even be one?

Or will it be the same person all in one?

What is the goal?

What is the message, the purpose?

The meaning of each page

Interlaced, weaved together

To describe a whole life

With its sorrows and its pains

With its joys and its successes

With its love and its hopes

Heartbreaks and disappointments

Life is just a word

But how much does it encompass

Creation and destruction

Discovery and loss

A human life

A whole eternity

Encompassed in four tiny letters

And yet gone in one glimpse

At the end of the day

***

Thank you for reading!
