The Book Of Life <br /> <br /> <br />So many pages in the book of life <br />Tell tales about the trouble and strife <br />The joys and the aching we may endure <br />How much of each we can't be sure <br /> <br />For there are gaps within the tales <br />How much traction have you on the rails <br />Are the sleepers loose or rotting away <br />One cold wind may blow your plans astray <br /> <br />If only the book was made to be clear <br />Like those we read to our children dear <br />Pictures and soundboards help for sure <br />To keep their tales simple and pure <br /> <br />So please whoever is designing the next <br />Book of life to come off the press <br />Can we ask just one more simple thing <br />Some variables that we can find within <br /> <br />All it would take to make us feel secure <br />Would be flaps to reveal the future for sure <br />By lifting these flaps the choice would be made <br />After which we would never more be afraid. <br /> <br />(c) Rhumour <br />April 2008<br /><br />Dave Dunn aka Rhumour<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-book-of-life-3/
