“Life’s Book”

“Life’s Book”

No matter what else you are doing

                                                From cradle days through to the end,

You are writing your life’s secret story---

                                                Each day sees another page penned.

Each month ends a thirty-page chapter,

                                                Each year means the end of a part---

And never an act is misstated

                                                Or even one wish of the heart.

Each day when you wake, the book opens,

                                                Revealing a page clean and white---

What thoughts and what words and what doings

                                                Will cover its pages by night?

God leaves that to you---you’re the writer---

                                                And never a word shall grow dim,

Till the day you write the word Finish

                                                And give your Life’s Book back to him.
