#WritcoPoemPrompt16
The pages of my old book,
Hold my memories of yesterday,
Every smile, every tear,
Every person who came my way,
Those moments fills up my heart.

Many Summers had flew away,
Winter nights came and went off,
The warmth in my heart never stray,
Even though I suffered many loses,
I learn people will come and go away.

I cherish them all with my whole heart,
Many nights I spent awake in my bed,
Tears pour down like the pure rain,
Many times I felt sad and lonely,
Time transform me in a wise saint.

I went again through these old pages,
Remembering the tough battles I fought,
Life threw many dares on me at every stage,
My love ones stand by me in all the way,
With time I became an idle figure in their eyes.

At last I came upon the last page of my book,
Tracing the picture of my love with pale wrinkle hand,
I close the book, finding a sense of peace in my heart,
I will be gone by the time in a peaceful slumber,
Knowing I will still be remembered by my children.
