Life Is Like A Book

A comparison between life and a book. An open book representing life and the great adventures... but once an adventure is over, the book closes.

Life is like a book...
It has a beginning
and an end...
so through the pages
you look...
searching for a friend.
When you finally find them...
you're the happiest
person alive.
When they tell you
their leaving...
you close the book
and cry.

(I wrote this when I was a little girl.)

Author's Note

I wrote this when I was a very young girl. I actually didn't know the meaning at the time of writing it. It just came out onto the paper and years later I was able to understand it better.

Reviews

[L. Edward Neale]

Beautiful and heartfelt. Great books will do that. Reminds me of when I read the Lord of The Rings trilogy when I was a child. I was just so moved and captivated by that book, that in certain places I shouted for joy and other places I sat and wept with heartbreak.

well the adage is "out of the mouths of babes..." so true
