My daughter just gave me this poem and I loved it so much I wanted to share it.
Your Life’s Book by Ashley Slattery
Your life is like an open book
For anyone who cares to look
The story of your life.
There it shall be
For all eyes to see
The story of your life
So now’s your chance
To take your stance
And with a heart-felt grin
Take up your pen
Write the story of your life
Now its your legacy
For the ones after you to see
Their turn to read
About who you came to be
The story of your life.
Our life story will live long after we are gone and although our past colors who we are, it does not define us. Unless we allow it to. The ending of our story, to a large extent, is up to us. And the ultimate question is, will the world be a better place after having read it, or are we just tickling their ears?
