#WritcoPoemPrompt16
The pages of my old book,
Hold my memories of yesterday,
Every smile, every tear,
Every person who came my way
The pages of my old book
gives me a new look
no longer scanned
A different brand
each page take it
nourish it, when it gets hard
encourage it
it was once said never judge a book by its cover
I think that's what happens to us amongst one another
we judge like our life has been crystal clear
when we've made a mistake or two
Has the sky been blue
or has it had some grey
has our lives been more
than we can bare
has the book been open or just skimmed through
have we forgotten
to look inside instead of out
that's what the book is all about
grasping the readers
getting them intrigued
meeting all of their needs
the pages of my old book
have been relooked revised
the new pages help keep me alive
gives me energy I never had
a retold version a retold book in the end my old pages help me in life with old phases help me become better ,in any situation in any weather
