Life is . . .

Life is a book.
A book in which you have only one look.
The pictures of this book limit
The reader to a life of black-and-white,
They make the reader's imagination timid.

The book of Life has so many pages to turn.
Unfortunately, there is little time to burn.
There are so many things to do.
Each different book can only contain some.
It is impossible for one book to try all that is new.

Fill your book with things that contrast.
Know that your book is not the last.
When others get your book to read,
If you have truly tried to give something back,
Your story will plant a little seed.

Please, I urge you, read a book that is three-dimensional.
Do not live a life that is detentional.
The pen of fate is yours to steer.
If you have brains or heart,
Don't waste your life, it is far too dear.
