My book
#WritcoPoemChallenge
My life is an open book,
That led me through every nook,
And every corner of discovery,
Of life's long journey
Although we all should know,
in the beginning the chapters were closed.
We had to work at it day by day,
each one was like turning a page.
In the the beginning it was more illustrated
because my vocabulary had not been created.
but then time soon enough came
when I made my first sounds,
from there my vocabulary became leaps and became bounds.
My words became prevalent
starting to understand
growing into this adult of a man.
And now that I'm writing
of all my own views
my own personal comments
with which
I can choose.
although still many questions
and no answer's to why.
Day in and day out
the pages fly by.
It is all a journey
Only One Life to Live
must live to the fullest
through my book I can give.
it's all information of how a life
that I chose
is my inspiration my highs and my lows

I don't know
who's to say
there's something here to be learned.
as you go to the chapters of my life,
hoping to inspire a good turn.

Now I know the back cover is near
stages of life are to change
the world that once was
is never again
And somehow I fear I'm to blame.

Hoping now I wrote things in my book that are documentaries, history, geography, I'm shook..
I must go back
to my pages
teach rights and no wrongs
be inspirational were the words of a song.
I have children who'll read this
my grandchildren to.
I must be a vessel who they can look up to.
oh my goodness will you look at that
the pages are almost done.
the life I'm now to finish,
Was the life I thought I'd only begun.

So close to the end
it's now easier to say
my life was good
I did do it my way.

So to any that open
please take a good look
this is my life
it's my opened book.
