CHAPTERS IN A BOOK

entry picture

Looking back at life

like chapters in a book

I sit back in my senior years

with time to contemplate,

What seemed like the worst times

often added up to the best times

Now I have my last book

empty pages to be filled

I am thrilled to write

my last...story.

So true. The book is often used. On a walk yesterday a friend inspired me to use it again. I have learned there are no new stories just different ways to tell them. I will go to your page Graham and enjoy Book Lover.

I am with you Trevor. Great introspection.

Juan thanks for enjoying.

Paul, hello to you! I vote for limited drama for you too ?

Thanks all. Nice to hear from other great writers.

Hi Lynn,

I hope it's a fun-filled epic with not too much drama ?

It always interests me that many of us use the book analogy for our lifetime. My recent offering Book Lover similarly did this.

The best years/worst years idea too is well trodden, with none of us knowing how the "story" is likely to pan out.

Let's hope your last chapter is a long one Lynn

I have chapters I sometimes wish could be redacted! But hopefully the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Great piece, which as you can see led me to my own introspection.
