THE BOOK OF LIFE


So full of happiness, life seems so complete
Every day eagerly awaited, anticipation mounts

Beauty in the face, body so voluptuous

In her book she writes her own pages

Until she finds the book of life

The first thing she reads, fills her with dread
Whatever goes up, has to come down

Sadness is the sister of happiness

Age the other side of beauty

Forever the optimist, she shuts the book

Meanwhile the hand of time, the faithful servant
Slaves, be it day or night, winter or summer

She goes to the book and opens it once again

A wise old face peers back, the youth replaced

She reads it again, the book that had been shut

And as she reads, she starts to understand
Life is full of ups and downs

The good always follows behind the bad

The secret lies in making the best of what you have

At that moment of your life.......
